A review from ISC student Cathy Zhang D'Overbroecks

"Last Friday a group of us went to an ice skating disco which was an amazing experience that we all enjoyed a lot. I was the only one who had never skated before so I started with a really nervous motion.

Larisa helped Sherry and I to walk and slide on our skates, teaching us to keep our legs straight to help glide better on the ice. It was quite difficult for us to keep balance at first.

When we dared to leave the edge of the ice skating rink, Lisa helped us to move apart, held our hands and skated with us. I found it was getting easier for me to control where my legs went, and I began to attempt going faster.

I even started to be able to control the direction that I wanted to go.

Suddenly, all the main lights went off and they were replaced with disco lights that reflected off the ice.

Disco music also began playing and soon enough my confidence increased and I started skating as if I was flying.

I went around the rink a couple of times increasing my speed and confidence until suddenly I lost my balance and couldn’t control where I was going.

I then experienced my first fall on the ice! However, I was not the only one; Li fell over 8 times but still enjoyed himself!

 I really enjoyed the experience and it is an activity I would like to do as I would love to improve on my new skills."
