Profile on Young Ice Dancer Joylyn Yang

Monday July 3, 2006
Joylyn Yang

Joylyn Yang passed her Gold Ice Dance test when she was only nine years old. This is a very impressive accomplishment.

Most skaters pass their Gold Dance test at a later age.

To accomplish this task, for three years, Joylyn has trained daily for three hours before school and has skated and worked hard.

Joylyn's goals are to compete in Ice Dancing and to continue to master freeskating skills and pass more tests.

Do you have information about another young skater who has done something remarkable in figure skating? Share about them in the comment section of this post.

I watched Joylyn pass her ISI Ice Dance test last month. Lovely skater, even when paired with a partner twice her height!
