Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the art of figure skating, written by three of the most renowned figure skaters of their day. It aims to teach both beginners and advanced skaters how to execute the best and most approved figures, whether simple or combined. The book is a response to the immense development of the art of skating in the late 19th century, and seeks to offer a complete guide to the field as it was practiced in leading British skating clubs at the time. The book expands upon a system of nomenclature devised in 1882 for combined figure skating, and incorporates a new code of rules agreed upon by a conference of skating clubs in 1891. The authors offer practical instruction, explaining the best methods for overcoming difficulties in mastering each figure. The book focuses on the importance of form and technique, emphasizing the need for a smooth and flowing style and the avoidance of violent and sudden movements. It also explores the nuances of skating to a center, continuous movement figures, and the intricacies of combined figures. The book stands as a testament to the authors' deep understanding and passion for the art of figure skating, providing a detailed and engaging guide for anyone seeking to learn and excel in this graceful and challenging craft.
