This is why I dont do dance...I dont like how everything has to be done one specific way!!

Which, for those of us who do dance, is the whole point!

Actually and seriously, though, one thing that dance does teach you is to skate with your music. All too many skaters - I'm speaking even of the highest level ones - skate through their music, not with it. You could play the tape of them skating with the sound off and another track playing on your radio or CD player, and it would look the same! The best skaters, in my opinion. are those whose programme would look very odd if they skated it to any other music.

I also just like to point out that, to a dancer at least, there is no such thing as a heel to heel mohawk, except to see it marked on your test sheet as the reason you failed your dance test. A heel to heel mohawk is an incorrectly executed mohawk.

I also go by the USFSA rulebook definition re. open vs. closed mohawks. Although really, it doesn't really matter what you call them, as long as you can do them correctly when called upon.
