I was recently introduced to someone who is creating a new software program to help skaters and coaches choreograph IJS-friendly programs. The software, called "Skater Studio," will be regularly updated with the latest rules and clarifications throughout each season. Subscription prices will be $129.95 for the entire season ("Season Pass") or $19.95 per day ("Day Pass").
A demo is up on the website: www.skaterstudio.com. Unfortunately, it is for a short program, which only applies to standard track Intermediate - Senior skaters. Still, it should give you an idea of how the program works. The adult rules have not been programmed into the software, but the developer says that if enough adults show interest, he will program the U.S. Adult Gold and Masters rules as well.
I volunteered to take a poll to gauge the interest level among adult skaters, so if you are a U.S. Adult Gold or Masters skater or expect to be skating in Adult Gold or Masters next season, you can visit the website, try the demo and respond to this poll. I will also pass along any comments or suggestions you may have.
