It's The Little Things

I was reading a couple of emails from readers of this blog (thanks!) and I was reminded of something Cecilia mentioned in the coffee club lesson last week. We were looking at crossovers and she mentioned in passing that the thumbs should be folded into the palms when doing crossovers. I think it's just a stylistic thing, but I respect her point. Many of the things we do are just as much about presentation as they are about accomplishing something. Figure skating is not just athleticism, it's also grace and poise and, well, style. It's the little things.
