Kaitlin's luck seems to be failing her. Telling the judges at a competition exactly what she thinks of her low scores for artistic expression leads to her demise at the Ridgeline Skating Club. That kind of behavior is not tolerated there. Hildy, her coach, is not thrilled with her behavior, either.

Into the picture comes the Fallton Skating Club. Greg, Kaitlin's new coach, is way into feeling the music, and she stumbles through a tango routine that is totally not her style. Tango dance classes help, though, and she is able to incorporate cool steps like ochos into her skating routine. Greg seems interested in what she would like to add to the routine, a concept that is foreign to her. At least she is acquiring new performance techniques.

Everyone at Fallton has a story. Addison has an attitude and a grumpy nature that never quits. Handsome Braedon keeps luring Kaitlin into activities that she is not completely comfortable with. Kaitlin had an incident with the judges at competition, and Miyu is her best buddy, whom she can tell anything. 

Breaking the Ice by Gail Nall, 2015

It was interesting to learn about skate jumps like the flying camel, double axel and triple salchow.
