[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped competitive figures skating at 16 and picked it back up at 25.  At 40, I switched to dance.  I've tried hockey skates but it just never felt right.

There's room in figure skating for adults if you want it.

To the PP who refused to acknowledge the renamed MIF--I hear your.  They just need to bring back figures.  Boring as heck to do; even more boring to watch.  But there is something about the precision, and repetition that becomes soothing.  I loved my patch sessions.  And yes, I know about World Figure & Fancy Championships & Festival.  Karen Cortland was one of my coaches.[/quote]

If you go to Sun Valley in the summer, which I highly recommend, especially if you can time it around a skating show that you want to watch, they still do patch sessions on the outdoor rink every morning. It’s all old timers, and they still use scribes, and some of them are still doing beautiful figures, and you are welcome to join them when you are there on vacation.  if you haven’t already been, skating outdoors in Sun Valley in the summer is a mecca for figure skaters, especially adults, picking it back up after a long break.[/quote]
