What Does It Feel Like on the Ice?

The Coronation Dance is known for its light, agile, and highly responsive feel. Skaters often describe it as:

  • Exceptionally stable on edges — the 4 mm parallel sides and shortened tail make deep edges feel secure while allowing quick changes of direction.
  • Perfect for dance turns — the enhanced secondary rocker supports smooth brackets, rockers, counters, and choctaws.
  • Effortless for footwork — the shorter tail reduces drag and makes intricate steps feel cleaner and more controlled.
  • Easy to centre in spins — the refined rocker helps skaters find a consistent sweet spot without feeling twitchy.
  • Cross‑cut toe pick –  offers enough grip for stability without interfering with close footwork or dance holds.
