They also learn the fundamental skate skills through forward 2 foot glides, forward swizzles, dips, rocking horse, backward swizzles, and the basic snow plow stop.

Skaters will learn the correct way to use the edge of their blade and further develop their forward stroking technique, they learn forward crossovers, backward slalom skating, 2 foot turns from forward to backwards (clockwise and counter clockwise) and a 2 foot spin with 2 revolutions. Skills developed at this level improve the skaters 1 foot gliding ability with the introduction of backward skating.
