Lifts

There are a few common lifts in pairs skating. The lifts involves the man lifting the lady and never the reverse. A good lift includes smooth take off by the lady, an stable and elegant position attained during the lift and a gentle landing. On many occasions, the harmony of the pairs are distorted due to poor landing, eg. the man just plop the lady down on ice after the lift!

Lifts also includes twist. This move requires the man to lift the lady up and release her while she does a double or triple twist. The man then catches her at the end of the twist and allows a gentle landing.


The common lifts are : -
Press lift
Star lift
Lasso lifts
Twist lift

Note: I am not very sure of the definations of the lifts yet. The definations will be up soon!
