Ice Skaters

A sketchcrawl in the Lloyd Center, where it was nice and dry.

After we met and introduced ourselves we wandered up to the skating rink.  I headed up to the 3rd floor to look down on the kids.

At the south end of the rink was a beginners class.  Little kids, some wearing bike helmets, desperately trying to stay upright. Their lessons were mainly how to move forward, and how to stop.

 A slightly older tyke.  Her class was starting to work on  twirling.

And a more advanced class, for young adults.  The instructor wanted a circle for them to skate around, so she leaned forward and skated backward, drawing a perfect circle on the ice with a marker.  Something I can't do even when I can see what I'm doing.
