ITA with skaternum!! I can jump for much longer than I can dance (I have a bad right knee from falling down the stairs trying to avoid my kits ..... so far CORTAFLEX is doing a grand job, don't know if it's psychological BUT it's the new 'wonder supplement' in horses so it *may* just REALLY be doing some good .....).

You sound like me when I started Dance! EXCEPT that I thought that Dance was for old people or injured free skaters ...... how wrong was I!! I ONLY did it to start with because I wanted to improve my basics AND had a very cute dance instructor ..... that particular factor kept me coming back and once I'd got over the horrid baby dances I fell in love (with the discipline NOT the instructor ).

Do you remember the solo reverse waltz? That was a KILLER of a dance .... THANKFULLY I never got to do it, the last one that I saw ended when the skater hit a toepick, hit the barrier head first and carted off to a nearby hospital in an ambulance

I do indeed! The only time I tried a reverse waltz, I sat gracefully on my partner's skates! One of our tapes still has it, and my husband insists on trying it out if we play that tape - everybody else chickens out, except those few skaters who were actually good enough to do it, way back when....

As for knees - I live on glucosamine which, apparently, is excellent if you take a big enough dose. The chondroitin with which it is often associated is apparently not much good, so plain glucosamine is better. Plus cod-liver oil. Plus a magnetic copper bracelet - and I still have sore knees. But dancing hurts them less than jumping does.
