Salchow

3m 11s
Purpose: This tutorial teaches skaters the ""two foot"" take-off on the salchow. This take-off does not actually take off on two feet, but as opposed to the traditional salchow take-off, skaters place their free foot down on the ice to help maintain stability and good placement before lifting off the ice.
Focus: Salchow entry, free foot position, foot placement, timing and rhythm
