Hello Skaters, I am so excited about this one! Today we are kicking off the Christmas/ Holiday/Festive season with some beginner choreography, to a holiday song. Every skill that I use in this program is something I have taught in a previous tutorial, and I have listed all those tutorials below, in case you would like to brush up on those skills.
I would love for you to practice this program and then post your completed version up to Instagram with the hashtag #CoachJuliaChristmas , so that we can all cheer each other on and create some beautiful holiday spirit.
And, just like last year, I will also be putting together a compilation video of this program, to be uploaded to my youtube channel on Christmas Day. If you would like your skating performance to be included, please email your video to me, by Saturday December 18th. You can film in any format, but horizontal (landscape mode) works best to fit into the youtube screen. You can email them to me at
[email protected] If you are not able to email your video, please send me a message on Instagram and I will try to find another way to get your video. I will not be showing your entire performance, but highlights from many skater's efforts.
