Hi Deborah. I am a healthy, vibrant 63 year old woman. I started skating just two years ago. Your videos have helped more than any paid lessons would have. I can now skate backwards and cross over thanks to your videos. Just yesterday, at the rink, a young lady came over to me and said, "Lady, you can skate!" lol. Thanks again :)

she is that teacher you want to hug every time you see her

[MiauMichigan]

From the creator of the "snack area" and "fun zone" now comes "beams of light" 😂 It really helps to learn because I always remember those when skating.

[yolandaf]

Dirty, I sincerely thank you for showing me how to skate properly. Oh, if you tube were back in the 70’s I would’ve been hell on wheels. 57 in 2 months. I can skate, learned at 56. swim, learned at 50.
and ride a freakin bike, learned at 45. How awesome. I learned it all from You Tube University Professors. I can’t thank you enough!

[maekarlie]

Does anyone else just hear SNACK AREA RIGHT, DROP YOUR FUN ZONE when they have their skates on?

[Papalovesmango]

What a brilliant teacher. Beams up, snack area tight, fun zone down. Thank you for these magical nuggets of wisdom 🛼✨

[rosekay]

Dirty saying in the nicest possible way that learning to skate isn't like you see on tiktok 😂🤔

[alwaysgodlee]

🙂 I learned how to backwards skate because of you

[lacey]

I went outside for my very first skate session EVER today and I took you with me. I kept my snack area tight, my fun zone low, I shifted my weight from side to side, and it was AWESOME. I mean, I was crappy obviously, but it was awesome. Thank you so much!!! These tutorials are amazing and you are delightful. <3 Keep 'em coming!!

I just picked up skates & am trying to relearn after 40 years - so far, I've become an expert at laying on concrete. This is GREAT! THANK YOU!

[kiwi-tpmn]

Learning to skate, for me, feels like taking your first steps as a child-

[toot]

Totally guilty of just running into things to stop now that I’ve gotten back on skates after 15ish years. I have no recollection of how to stop correctly.

[manismajor]

I may be telling my age but that intro reminded me of the FAME intro where Debbie Allen gave her famous speech..🤣

[adrianaporrata]

I love that she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She’s there. She’s skating. She’s having fun, and trying to bring everyone along. I love her evergy

[keepingupwiththebeasleys]

I’m the “non-committer” that gets scared to push down and go🤦🏽‍♀️

[TheBashfulLittleBunny]

Thank you so much! My boyfriend bought me a pair of skates for my birthday, and I've been trying to skate for about a month now. After watching this video, I can finally move without holding onto something and my legs aren't doing the splits when I skate! It's not much, but it's improvement and I'm looking forward to getting better a little bit at a time

[Asverze]

Oh my god, I just found your channel from contemplating learning to skate and your pep and kindness are just making me cry here. I am 38 years old, out of shape and very overweight but you are motivating me in just the right way to try my courage and go for it. Thank you so much. You are going to be my go to channel from now on. Much love.

[monicahigh]

Thank you for your videos! 45 here with many snacks in the snack section and many years away from the rink. You're helping me ditch the walker and get the right skates and adjustments. 🤩

[ezekielumilda]

I want to quit skating but this is so inspiring. I want to keep it up.

[jazzscorner]

God I never realized how much core strength can help make you not look like youre dying trying to keep yourself up
