Sport...or Art?
* Video of the Month *
Coach Jaya chats with coach, ice show cast mate and US Figure Medalist Lynne Petta on how figures help free skating.
A world-renowned dance choreographer once said to me about figure skating: "Sport? Art? Sport? Art? It's sport."
Yes, we are athletes in a competitive sport, but it's the artistry
- the grace, fluidity and musicality - that brings the athleticism
to life on the ice. Technique serves our artistry and expression, while our artistic expression brings meaning and joy
to the technique.
Sport and Art...in figure skating, the two are forever linked.
