Holiday Show
We know it is early to start thinking about your Annual Holiday show, it comes faster than we know it.
Our Holiday show is a place for skaters to do a solo, duet, trio, or small group performances. You will then get assigned a coach to put the program together. More information will be sent out next month with sign up options and date and time of the show in December.
However, we wanted to keep it on everyone's radar.
Reminder, in order to participate in our shows or events, you have to be a member of our club or a LTS USA club member. The program will also have to be put together by a club approved coach.
If you have any questions, let us know.
In Skating This Month
Testing Structure Updates
This season USFS has updates to the test names found in the U.S. Figure Skating testing structure. These updates include:
Moves in the Field is now called Skating Skills
Free Skate is now called Singles
Pre-juvenile through senior tests have been renamed to reflect a gold, silver, and bronze path
For all pattern dances, skaters may choose the lead or follow track
The congratulatory test email is being revamped, so you can celebrate your skating journey accomplishments with your friends! Starting in August, these will go out monthly to include social sharing assets, store discounts and more to celebrate your achievement
These changes do not directly affect the elements within each test. We encourage you to continually challenge yourself and your skating skills. Tests become more difficult as you advance, so each test passed is a huge accomplishment and cause for celebration!
For more information about these changes, please get with your coach or Skating Director.
