pro figure skater show skills: elements to include in your audition tape

[@jbauth]

what's your favorite tricks to perform/watch? ⛸

[@lindatannock]

I think you can't beat stars into a butterfly. The audience loves it! Oh, and backflips! Noticed a lot of shows making skaters do all sorts of triples etc now, but people fall. It spoils the number! I'd much rather see a really great simpler jump that the skater "sells" to the audience. "Selling it" makes the audience believe it's a harder trick than it is 😉😁 #showgirllife

[@jbauth]

@@lindatannock i totally agree, couldn’t have said it any better!!! learning the backflip is on my bucket list😍

[@charm602]

I love to watch any axels its so cool and i love doing spins😚

[@jbauth]

@@charm602 agreed!!

[@amandadoh2875]

I love your double axle. Can you land any triples? You are really good, I only got to double loops.

[@michelledesjadon1476]

It just blows my mind when you spin so freaking fast!!! It is very very impressive & so cool to watch!!! Thank you for sharing Jordan💖✌

[@sashaseckers]

This is so useful! As a figure skater who is planning to potentially audition for shows after the pandemic, this is so helpful! Thank you!!

[@jbauth]

best of luck to you on your future endeavors!!😇

[@niamhamelia]

As someone who wants to go into show skating in a couple of years this was very helpful thank you!! xx

[@jbauth]

so so so happy to hear that! best of luck to you 💓

[@skater5119]

My fav is definitely spirals and knee slides I love being creative with arm movements and different entrances

[@jbauth]

omg knee slides are SO fun!!!

[@chloelouise2104]

I really really want to get into shows. My coach who used to be in shows is helping me and I’m hoping that I will apply soon either for the end of the year or next year. ❤️

[@ItsAmandaWan]

as someone who hasn't skated in forever this was so fun to watch!!!!

[@jbauth]

thanks amanda :) ❤

[@sweetp1015]

Love seeing you skate. I use to skate 20 years ago. This makes me miss it. My beautiful skates are too tight and painful to wear. Looking into getting new ones to just get on the ice for exercise.

[@jbauth]

thank you! and absolutely you should find a new pair, there’s nothing quite like feeling the ice under your feet⛸

[@sweetp1015]

@@jbauth I received my new ice skates today. I went from 7A to a 9W. I would say I did new new skates! Thanks so much for your inspiration. Looking forward to getting some ice time. Last time I really skated seriously I was in my late 20’s early 30’s. Now going back to it I’m in my 50’s.. hoping I love it as much but going to hate feeling like an old lady. 😟 aging sucks

[@EclecticElegance13]

My favorite thing has always been scratch spins. I used to definitely be a spinner vs a jumper and I love scratch and sit change sit or broken leg spins!

[@jbauth]

yesssss scratch spins are so much fun! 🤍

[@jeffmcnair7424]

The scratch spins and the backspins are the best. With more practice your basic scratch spins will become powerful scratch spins.

[@barone206]

I wish I could go back on stage but seeing you in your element makes me really happy.

[@jbauth]

i hope you can return soon❤️

[@MeganMuise]

since i cant ice skate to save my life i love watching you skate 🤣🤣 loved this sm!!!

[@carlychanelskates]

Love this 😘 And i love doing Spread Eagles and Enabauers ⛸ Looking forward to any of your skating videos.

[@jbauth]

thanks carly! I need to stretch more to improve my ina bauers for sure haha

[@carlychanelskates]

@@jbauth I have been told when i use to do ballet that i have open hips, But i still stretch and i do feel like stretching does help even when i was on the ice.

[@Catski0]

Really enjoyed watching this, although I'm just starting out and probably won't ever be able to do any of these. You are an amazing skater!🤩

[@jbauth]

thank you!! you have to start somewhere, you never know ! 💛

[@리게-w2g]

Waiting to see you at the 2022 Olympics

[@jbauth]

i’m not nearly good enough for the olympics and I no longer compete, but thanks so much!! haha😊

[@babedns7110]

[@jbauth]

yes absolutely a spin video coming soon! thank you kindly❤️

[@babedns7110]

@@jbauth thank youuu ❤

[@janh5199]

After watching your videos for a year I’m going back and watching your older videos. As a non skater this was interesting. Are the show skills ones you had to learn to turn pro or did you know them from your free skates?

[@bokeoikawa-san6065]

Can't wait for your next video

[@jbauth]

yayy!!! i just posted a new vlog today🎬

[@tomcollins5112]

Thanks for all the great tips! I'll be sure to use them in my upcoming audition!

[@jbauth]

you’re so welcome!! glad it was helpful 🙂💛

[@tomcollins5112]

@@jbauth Actually, I was joking. Thanks for the pretty demonstration, though.

lululemon dance studio joggers!

[@marisaclark678]

Taking notes for the next time I slip on ice walking down the street

[@jbauth]

bahahaha oh ris how I miss u 😂😭💕

[@lindatannock]

Great video Jordan! I think it'll be really helpful for skaters who want to do a show reel 👏🏻 I didn't have anything like that (way back when haha!) I had to audition in person. I only auditioned for Hot Ice and Disney, and worked 6 years for a few different companies without having to audition again, (thankfully!) I was really fortunate! Bet you can't wait to get back to shows! Does it worry you going back on the ship, especially with the covid situation? Is it going to be a while before cruises restart? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛸💖

[@jbauth]

that’s what I thought! thank you linda 😊 even though I went to ships, I still did an in-person audition for DOI for future reference on file and it was so much fun! but I’m not too worried about returning because I know the new protocols and procedures are going to be so strict! And i’m not really sure when we will be back 😕

[@ct4485]

I really like the trick 5:18 😊

[@rpenguinboy]

I dont even do figure skating but I love watching this lol
