Hi, my name is Charlene Dodge and I'm here at the Clearwater Ice Arena in Clearwater, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village this is beginning ice skating. This is Victoria Henning and she would be demonstrating a half wallie. What she is going to be doing is demonstrating it forward, she is going to turn back to a inside edge, jump and she comes forward to a two stop afterwards, so that is the half wallie. The next move she is going to be demonstrating is a toe wallie, she is going to do one revolution in the air this time, a full revolution. Bringing the arms a little bit tighter and that way she would get the full revolution and she comes out in a back edge instead of coming out forward. Now she is going to do a full wallie. She is going to be going to, actually without using your toe peg she jumps off of one foot and lands. That is a full revolution in the air, arms in and there is your sequence of wallies.
