Have been working my way through a stack of classical music records inherited many years ago from my grandparent's estate. Came across this and thought immediately I'd love to skate to it somehow. I have some ideas in the works. Open with a forward pivot left, pause, a forward pivot right, pause, back toe pushoff into a back spiral and glide, toe stop at the tempo change, then...?

You need to have steps where you'll gain speed, though. A back spiral is a bit hard to do from a single push from standstill.

Yep. I have a sort of similar choreography for my program. Pivot, then push out draw back thingie with my front foot while back toe pick holds my position. I take several back cross overs before LBO spiral followed by RBO spiral.
