I'm 20 years old and I'm just learning how to skate and now I'm addicted to these videos 😂

Yesterday I managed to do wiggles for the first time, and I was so happy about it because the previous time that I tried it I was stuck on the same spot and couldn't even get myself moving. Can't thank you enough for your videos coach!

You're a great coach. I've recently started ice skating again after 26 years and your videos have really helped improve my form and confidence on the ice. Thank you.x

Thank you so much! I've only been a casual skater in my life, but now have a rink right by me and have been loving using your videos to progress skills. I appreciate the progression each skills is shown in. Thank you for making me a better/more comfortable skater! <3

You're a great teacher! I'm glad I discovered your channel and will be back for more! I'm 52 and always skated since being a kid, but never had any proper lessons (self taught). Every year my husband builds me a backyard skating rink, so I'm going to watch a daily video of yours to help me practice. Yay! Thanks so much lovely lady! ⛸🤍⛸

Took some classes for beginners but the backward skating was always the hardest for me! This is really helpful :)

[christinek]

Thanks coach Julia. Just started group lessons this year. I'm in my 40s. Your teaching is so very helpful 😊.

My 8 year old grand daughter really likes your videos. They are easy to understand and unlike when her lesson is over, she can watch them at any time. Thanks for keeping it simple yet informative for a young skater. You are great at what you do. Keep up the good work. Thank-you.

I roller skate (quad skates), and i watched a lot of videos about backward skating, and i just cant get it; but i tried all the things you teach in this video and it works, thank you so much! ❤

Oh you only posted this two days ago! I love that you make content for us online skaters consistently!! Sending love from the Australian ice rinks xx

[michelletanner]

Thank you so much! You are a great teacher! I have wanted to skate so much since a was around 11 years, but never had the opportunity. I am now a pensioner and since watching your video. And ven if I still can't, just watching your videos are beautiful. I can skate with you. Thank you!!.

i did learn how to skate classes but could never get backwards wiggles down. your video definitely explained what i was doing wrong and i hope i can get it down the next time i get to be on the ice! <3

The best video tutorials I have seen to learn ice skating. Thank you.

[ronch]

Some of the best skating tutorials on youtube. Ive been rewatching this video everytime i go out for a session, im hoping to at least begin doing backwards crossovers before the end of this season.

[Lovetinybabies]

I really love your videos! The way you break down every step and remind us of what we need to avoid doing…..so helpful! Thank you coach Julia!❤

[barbarabranche]

I absolutely fell in love with your videos. You explain everything so clearly and show each technique in different angles. I'm about to turn 30 in a few months and I found out how fun ice skating can be. I used to surf every weekend back home in Puerto Rico, so moving to a cold state where surfing is not pleasant anymore, I was worried I wouldn't find a sport that brought me the same joy. Turns out skating gives me a similar feeling like flying over the water! I've already looked up classes in a nearby rink, and have been watching your videos every day!
Again, thank you so much for your effort and time to make these amazing tutorials for us!

Im so glad I found your channel!! I started skating back in July at age 32 and haven't fully mastered some of these basic skills yet. Looking forward to getting in some practice and using your tips!! Thank you!!
