Sister-Brother Figure Skating Partnerships Go Beyond:
Sister-brother pair or ice dance partnerships may last longer than other figure skating partnerships since those relationships go beyond the skating rink and are lifetime relationships.
Not Just a Business Relationship:
In most situations, figure skating partnerships are temporary and also are business arrangements, but sister-brother ice dance or pair skating partnerships can be much more. Skating together can help a sister and a brother grow together as a unit and as a family.
One Set of Parents - "It's All In the Family":
The parents of a sister-brother ice dance or pair skating team can arrange their children's skating schedules and lesson schedules without having to deal with a second of parents. Traveling to competitions can be done together. Coaches are able to deal with one family instead of two.
Disputes Remain Private:
If disputes arise between skating partners, disagreements can remain inside the family and don't have to become public.
Lifetime Memories:
Sisters and brothers who skate together create lifetime memories that can be cherished in future years. The memory of the joy of winning a competition together or passing a test together will be carried into adulthood.
Skating With a Sibling Is Fun:
Although sisters and brothers may have some petty or small brother-sister fights, most sisters and brothers who skate together have a lot of fun together at the rink. There is usually lots of hugs and smiling between siblings who skate together.
