So excited for this. I need this for my level test coming up. Thanks so much for the great videos. I love that you give some stretches one can also do off ice. I’m in my 40s and started less than 2 years ago and your videos have helped me so much. Thank you so much
The close-up on your blades was pretty insightful, Coach J. Your trailing blade is resting on the main rocker but the leading blade seems to be contacting only at the tail end. I'll keep that in mind. I can do the outside spread eagle but only with my knees bent quite a bit and haven't been able to straighten them. (I'm also a man, which makes it more difficult.) I do need to change the entrance--right now I'm doing the hockey glide entrance.
Yess!! Thank you! I've been seeing everyone else do this in the rink and I'm going with my Friends on Saturday, now i can practice this and show off a little 😌.. let's hope i don't fall
I have super flexible hips but I really can't do this :( I think it's because my knees don't turn out (and I can't force them as I dislocated a kneecap some years ago)... I would sooo love to do it!
Coach Julia!! I was wondering do u have any tips on how to be consistent on landing on your toe picks? I have been learning a waltz jump and I haven't been able to land on my toe pick consistently :]
If it’s not too personal I would like to know what area you live in and what time u skate, I live in Ontario and my rinks have seats unless there outside rinks and open at 4pm
Hi Coach Julia, I don't lace my skates to the top. I leave the top loop free, to get that flip flop (part of the trick?) Your Ina Bauer is even more awesome!
Well, that is something I usually advise my students against. The hooks go up to the top for a reason! But I agree, it does make skills like the spread eagle easier.
My coach is having me learn spread eagles. I'm struggling with figuring out the weight transfer (flexibility is not an issue) of the free foot. So does your heel of your free foot actually touch the ice first before fully turning out for the position? I hope this makes sense. Also, is it common to fall from spread eagles? What scares me the most from outside edge spread eagles is the possibility of falling backwards. Keep in mind that I'm an adult skater in my 40s (been skating for about 10 years, although my progress has been SLOW), and so I don't bounce like the much younger skaters at my rink. lol.
So I'm finally working up to my outside spread eagle and thus revisiting this video, and I'm having some difficulty at the transition from the boards to the ice--I can turn out just fine leaning back at the boards, probably because my inside spread eagle is one of my most-practiced moves (I just love spread eagles). But on the ice, when I try to do the heel-flop, I find my skate doesn't flop all the way parallel, and even if I'm on my outside edges, the angle is less than 180 degrees, maybe more like 150 degrees--which of course is not very conducive to continuing to travel in the direction of the circle! Or traveling much at all, really. My starting point is not *that* flexible (30yo guy; started skating at 28 without much to promote flexibility before that), so I assume I just need to work at it, but is this something you see in your own students that might indicate something else getting in my way, like a mental block, not allowing my tush to cantilever me enough, not putting the free leg out far enough when the heel comes down, etc?
Hope, by FORWARD , I realize this move ’ cause Cross over on front is iesaier for me as a dancer. May you tell me if spreag eagle ask to have straight legs or bending. Thanks your answer Julia
@@CoachJulia Thank you very very Much Julia. I’m okay with Spreag Eagle but I was afraid yesterday to make a SPIRAL even if it’s on a line. I feel wrong when my leg is lifting on back but FORWARD I lift my leg as I’m marching. I have to face this fear. Send you my Heart 🌬⛸🤍
Is it normal that your ankles feel pressed against the boots when you do spreadeagles? Mine do, to the point of getting bruises sometimes. Does this mean I lace my boots too tight? Also, I think my left knee discomfort lately came from straining it when I tried to increase my turnout incorrectly. So it’s important to follow coach Julia’s advice - open from the hips, not knees or ankles.
Coach julia I have a question that's probabaly most likely not based on this video. Okay, so you have skin peeling on the outer parts of your index fingers cause ei kinda have it and I think it's from tying my skates and I just wanted to know if anyone else had/has that problem
You just have to change your laces, because the ones you have now have too little friction and you have to pull them and harm your skin. Your current laces are either old or have flat structure (not rounded). I also had this problem once long long ago.
🌬Julia🤍 teached me all I know today. I’ve never had another coach nor some lessons . And last time I ’ve gone to the rink, it was my 37th time on ice. Because of Julia I Master All Pivots which I finish with spin on two legs and then on one leg, " miss the backward Outside Pivot " ... She’s my Superwoman, The three Variations of Lunge were also natural. I know all stops, "miss Tango Stops "..... Forward Stroking even the Russian Forward Stroking. Forward crossover but " miss backward crossover "..... Outside and inside spread eagle. Spirals , Dance Steps......

Bravo!... a beautiful skating move that you perform so well. You explain the learning steps pefectly. As always, your videos ROCK!
As always, Thank you so much for the positive feedback !!!
The outside to inside spread eagle transition got an audible gasp from me lol it just looks SO COOL
oh thanks so much! I really love spread eagles!
I love it! Maybe this is the season I will get it going. Will wear a helmet 😅. Thank you Julia, you're my favorite ice teacher 💖
Yess!! Thank you! I've been seeing everyone else do this in the rink and I'm going with my Friends on Saturday, now i can practice this and show off a little 😌.. let's hope i don't fall
Thank you! These are my absolute favorite move. I'm going to start trying to enter from backwards crossovers!
You have one of the best coaching channels!
The video I needed all the years!!! 😍
Yay! I hope it is helpful for you!
@@CoachJulia i will try it out! I never knew how to get in that position 🤔
Coach Julia thanks for the motivation video.
You're so welcome!
Thank you, Julia! Great lesson
The inside spread eagle seems easier since you don't need 180 degree turnout. But going to the outside requires more than 180 as you've shown here.
I keep on accidentally doing lemons because I’m not able to keep hold of the eagle, how can I manage to old the eagle while skating?
U r great instructor
I have super flexible hips but I really can't do this :( I think it's because my knees don't turn out (and I can't force them as I dislocated a kneecap some years ago)... I would sooo love to do it!
thank you so much!! i’ll be practicing this!
Yay! I hope it goes well for you!
thank you i love it
You're welcome 😊
Hi coach Julia, please can u do a tutorial on how to spin faster in jumps to do axels and doubles? I can only do 1 spin in a jump at the moment
Is this possible on roller skates?

Is it normal that my bunion hurt a lot doing this?
Ok I know how to do it on land but on ice my legs keep on slipping

Spread eagle should have straight legs if possible.

I do have calluses on the outside of my index fingers from tying my skates.
@@CoachJulia I use a "lace tightener" if needed

@@EvstiforovaYuliaschool Some folks iron the laces, thus smoothing the wrinkles out ;

6:58 - 7:20 I had rewatch the video like 3 times cuz I kept getting distracted by the girl in the back 💀😭
🤣 I saw that while editing. Hilarious. She was actually rehearsing for her first tour with Disney on Ice!
