I have vague memories of doing a public skate session in hockey skates years and years ago, and going, "OH DEAR GOD I'M GOING TO FALL OVER!" Maybe they're a little too maneuverable for me. ;)
I'm somewhat terrified of the idea of jumps as well right now, although maybe once I start my lessons I'll be less so. Personally, I'd like to do ice dance--no jumping, ballroom dance music and dance-inspired movements, all of which sound great to me. Finding a partner is like finding a very tiny needle in a very large haystack, though, or so I hear. But that is of course way, way, way in the future.
The rink I'm going to apparently does ISI rather than USFSA, though beyond the fact that USFSA governs the competitive/Olympic people, I'm not sure what the difference is. The basic skills look pretty similar to the beginning ISI levels I'll be working on.
