Hi! I'm a total beginner to figure skating, and I was wondering if someone could give me advice about group skating lessons.
I've only recently started skating at my local rink, and I must admit that my progress is rather slow. As I have never been ice skating until recently, I use rental skates from the rink (Which brings up another question - Should I go ahead and invest in my own pair of skates?). I stay near the side rails and sometimes hold onto them in order to stabilize myself (Like I said, total beginner :roll9, but I'm gradually improving.
Here's what I'm curious about: Is it too early for me to consider taking group lessons? Should I wait until I have a bit more experience?
My original plan was to keep practicing on my own until I can skate with more ease, but I recently heard that doing this can cause the development of bad technique. And I definitely don't want that!!
I don't know anyone that skates, so I was hoping to get some insight from those that know more about this! Thank you so much :luv17:
