"Well...it's basically dancing, but on ice." Jordan stopped the two from moving. Once he knew Lorelei would be okay to stand and not fall, he began figure skating. Twirls and jumps of all different kinds.

"As you can see, dancing on ice is different from dancing on a floor. I'm used to the slide, and grace the ice gives you. You work with the ice. On the floor, you work on it. I'm sure you can feel the difference." Jordan smiled, stopping after a twirl and gliding over to Lorelei.
Lorelei nodded. "You do have a rather good point. It is much harder to work on ice then on the stage." she said, as she glided on her own for a moment. She had gotten the hang of it, it seemed.

"Somewhat. It's what you really first learn what to do." Jordan smiled. "You just get some speed, jump in the air while moving in a circle, and land with your skates straight so you don't fall."

Jordan nodded, going to one end of the rink once more. As slow as he could, he made his was to the opposite side. Once he was halfway there, he bent his knees and jumped off of the ice. He twirled around just twice, and landed while skating in a way he wouldnt fall. "It's easy once you get the hang of it," Jordan grinned. "Your turn!"
Lorelei nodded, she skated to the other side of the ice and then faced Jordan. She began to skate towards the center of the ice, jumping up, and making a half turn, not quite a full turn but very close.

"Good, Lorelei! Just keep practicing until you can turn completely! It's all in how the way you move your arms, and hips, and body in general." Jordan smiled.
Lorelei nodded. She was able to dance no problem, but skating didn't come as easily. She put a smile on her face. "Landing is hard. How do I do that without falling?"
