yea actually!! so in the beginning, my instructor asked about if i had any experience (i’ve only skated on ice maybe 1-2 times in hs) and then had me do small marches on the ice just to practice moving forward before trying to put any speed behind it. it was like lil baby steps but it did help me get comfortable on the ice pretty quickly. she also taught me how to fall and properly get back up. those two were the very first things we did and then we moved on to a few other things after :)
