Balance & Grace
Balance, edge control and falling well — on and off the blade.
What this practice covers
Off-skate preparation first, then on-skate basics, with safety gear treated as part of the practice.
Yarra’s note. Off-skate prep is a gentle 4. The moment there are wheels or blades, falling becomes the primary curriculum.
