Always glad to read updates from John. But I'm confused: Nagoya or Nagano?  Hope they'll enjoy their stay in the country they like. |

Did they arrive in Nagoya and take the train to Nagano? That is my best guess!

Hehe.. Thanks for the update. It's looking better every time I see it! Just wonder what is the difference that enables you to gain the higher level vs. getting level 2's.  |

Just wonder what is the difference that enables you to gain the higher level vs. getting level 2's. Can someone explain to me about levels? I look at the judges protocols and I wonder where you get the "levels" from?! Hope that's not a silly question..just I've been wondering now for a while!! |

I this question is being asked in both threads! I kind of know the rules for singles; you have to do a certain number of turns in both directions and on both feet (and these include moves such as brackets, counters, rockers, etc.) and I think they have to be on three curving lobes?? and there is a regression involved--you may notice skaters backtrack a bit; sometimes they're doing figure loops, other times other moves.. but I am not totally versed on those. (I would know more but in adult, they only count 1 sequence and spirals are easier to get a higher level on. I still do footwork but later on and it doesn't count for levels but for connecting components). I'm not sure how things differ from dance but I know there is some sort of similarity.

Thanks sunnyskate. That is quite helpful. When you look at the marks for a dance, where can you find the levels given? You talk of Level 2 Step Sequences but where do you find this information on the score sheet? I'm not a skater myself and I'm confused about this!
