Cheryl Richardson, figure skating coach and choreographer,
offers fresh insights on free skating training.
Ahead Of The Curve
This site is devoted to exploring questions surrounding free skating training.The ideas are distilled from thirty five years of involvement in skating, seven years of show business and world travel and twenty years of coaching and study. They do not necessarily reflect the views of any national body, club or other coach.

On this site figure skating training is described according to the Canadian test and competitive system.
