16 - 24 August 2014
Seoul, South Korea
This training is hosted by the KSU (Korean Skating Union) as they provide us accommodation and meals. Its about introducing ice dance to enlarge the community of ice dancers because some countries never had any knowledge about ice dancing, usually we only have single or pair skaters. Many countries were participating in this seminar (Aus, Uzb, China, Kor, Jap, Ind, Taiwan, HK, NZ).

Ice dance basically a partnership skating of man and woman dancing in the same rythm according to the music. It really demands a musicality interpretation and its all about the edges. For me, i think ice dance is hard because we can not move according to our body but we must adjust to our partner where we must move in sync.
It was a one week intensive training and seminar about ice dance including the off ice training such as conditioning and ball room dance. We were given many information about the rules, the choreography, and everything about it.

For me, its a whole new learning experience especially because i never did any partnership before.
