I can tell you that the iPhone apps just show a demo of the skills. There's no explanation, no passing standards, no instructional information. It's just video.Babbette Duboisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721808053479678691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-3766554213490747692012-03-12T02:15:24.267-04:002012-03-12T02:15:24.267-04:00Hi.

Do you think the iSkate apps are explanatory enough that they could replace the need to buy the USFSA Basic Skills DVD? - slcbelleslcbellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-34083553462379503482012-03-08T19:17:31.911-05:002012-03-08T19:17:31.911-05:00I think some people will find it useful.

It allows one to slow down the tempo of ice dance music permitting a new dance be easier to skate during the learning process. That's all I know about it--peeps talk, you hear things, word gets around...George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.com
