What interested me after watching a few people do it on ice was the guy doing it in roller. This big heavily muscled mohawked guy who looks like he drives a tow truck in a tough neighborhood in Jersey. And he was doing it perfectly smoothly. I don't see ice dance guys with quite that look. Roller and Ice two cultures separated by the same moves.

Actually he does it very beautifully!
Also noted that although it is done solo, he is doing what is known as the ladies part in ice-dance. Same with a 14-step - and it is interesting with all of those kids sitting on the floor in the corner! Different cultures indeed.

I wondered if maybe he was an instructor doing a demo for a class.

A bunch of us at my rink have actually been taking some roller skating dance lessons (we get a group lesson for $10/person for an hour class once a month or so). It's really fun, we learned the first few dances and they were pretty easy. The instructor keeps trying to talk some of us into competing roller, but we're just doing it more as a group fun thing.

That's what it looks like to me. In fact, he kind of reminds me of my first roller dance instructor when I was a kid. That's exactly the solo arm position we were taught. I think it's actually very similar to ice dance. The major difference I see is that there is much less knee bend and very little up and down.

That might actually make that dance doable for me. |

I think it would be fun to get some roller plates mounted on an old pair of figure skating boots and play around with roller skating, but the last thing I need is yet another hobby.

Fourteen Step plus
I know this video is Roller Dance, but I thought some people might be interested. Are those step behinds at the beginning?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VD9gB...eature=related I don't know what the 'Plus' is since I don't 'do' ice dance, I just like to watch ice dance.
