Separate the misunderstandings that can keep you from improving your Composition score.
What You Will Learn | |
Clear up common mistakes in thinking about Composition so you can start raising your score. |
How to Analyze Your Program in Practice:
❌ “More difficult jumps automatically make my Composition score higher.” 👉 The Reality: Not true. Landed jumps and how the program is made are judged separately.
❌ “I just need to move my arms a lot.” 👉 The Reality: Not true. Moving your arms without a reason does not mean you are matching the music.
❌ “I only need to use the edges of the rink.” 👉 The Reality: Not true. Judges look at your whole path, which ways you turn, and how big your movements are.
❌ “Choreography is only the choreographer’s job.” 👉 The Reality: Not true. The skater is the one who has to bring the steps and movements to life on the ice.
❌ “My Composition score will be high as long as I do not make mistakes.” 👉 The Reality: Not true. Even with no mistakes, a program that just repeats the same things will not score well.
✍️ Summary
If you keep spending time on the wrong idea, you can miss what actually needs to change. First, separate your technical success rate from the design of your Composition.
