The precision skate video is to show the types of routines I did in the shows I appeared in. I never tried out for the kind of parts where there would just be me or perhaps three of us on the floor at a time. That would have been too much, all eyes are on me! However you had to be almost more careful because a mistake would mean that several people could go down.
The Gene Kelley clip is from a 1955 movie and it is too darn cute. That guy had to have spent a lot of time in a rink in his life time. I don't think he could learn in a few days to do that bit for a movie if he had never skated.
Signing out for a few days, talk to you later. Take care.
Loved the video! I used to skate quite a bit as a teenager, especially as I got to around 17 or 18. I'm surprised we never skated together.
ReplyDeleteMarianne did you click on where it says September (6)? Then go all the way to the bottom and that will give you the beginning and some old photos of me. I did not skate as much after we moved to SJ and while in high school I started outgrowing my skates and so they were dyed black and passed on to my brother. Connie S. and I went some and to the
