Jazzy's first skating competition.....

Just a little fun competition based on "compulsories" from the various US Skating levels. Jasmine is in Basic 4 Class right now.... but the competitors enter the competition one to two levels below the category they are already learning in their weekly classes. So, Jasmine is competing in Basic 2 since she knows those moves pretty well- usually:). Last night they worked on keeping her head up instead of looking down at her feet, as well as holding the glides and backward swizzles. She did really well, looked up most of the time... but rushed thru it. She didn't hold the one legged glides long at all. She got 2nd place... out of four girls in her category. Pretty good:). Then, I told her that since she did such a great job... she could pick any restaurant she wanted to go to for lunch. Of course she chose Sage Vietnamese restaurant:) I should have known! I videoed her on the ice... but didn't take photos.

Watching the other girls, waiting to go on the ice.

Done with the competition.

Second place!

At the restaurant eating her favorite "Meatball Pho".

Coaching.....

Last night, Jasmine had a special coaching session with Jaime Kalnicky...one of the competition coaches. I wanted to make sure she knew what she was supposed to do for the skating competition- and make it a fun/successful experience. At $1.00 per minute, I could only afford 15 minutes or so... but even that really helped. Make note- here is how the one legged forward glide is supposed to look:)!
