Calling all figure skaters~

I'm going to attempt to be a figure skater, (Just to compete for fun, I don't expect to be an Olympic gold medalist.) Well, a lot of people are saying I should go for it, and I think they are right, so I need some advice on how to get started. I have never been ice skating before, and yesterday a girl at the roller rink asked me if I was an ice skater. And I was like, "no..." But I do want to be one! I am very skilled with my inline roller skates, I have perfect balance, landing and almost never fall down! I have been inline roller skating since I was 8 years old. Everyone thinks I should try figure skating, so how do I get started?

Well, start out with learning how to ice skate 😋
In my opinion, ice skating is easier than roller skating.
Just go to a icerink, rent some skates and try your luck at em.

Yeah, I just went ice skating.
It was my fist time... And I could spin, and jump, and go backwards. I working on getting a coach.
