Patterns, Step Charts & Additional Information
The dance begins with the partners in Kilian position as they skate two run sequences. Steps 4 and 8, after each sequence are a “quick cross-over slip RFI.” This is a movement in which the right free foot during the third step (LFO) of the run is held at full extension, and as it takes the ice for Steps 4 and 8 (RF1 cross), the left foot on becoming the free foot is quick-ly slipped behind and sideways across the tracing just clear of the ice, becoming fully extend-
ed and pointing downward.
