Keep sliding when standing

[titanif]

Hi, I've just started lessons at my local ice rink and I'm getting good at gliding and doing dips and stopping. When I'm trying to stand still I keep gliding forwards or when we have to balance on different parts of the blades I go round in circles, how can I just stay still?
Thanks.

Hi Titanif,

Are your blades sharp? One way you can stay still when standing is by putting your feet in a T position, like the T-Stop. Or you can put them in a V position. When you say you are balancing on different parts of the blades, are you staying still and lifting one foot? Or is it a one foot glide where you're balancing while moving?
