Am I too tall/heavy to be a pairs skater?
It was recently suggested to me to do pairs ice skating ((I usually do singles and briefly did ice dance)) and I think it's beautiful so I'd love to try it, but I'm worried about my height and weight. I am 14 years old (almost 15), 5'5" and 116 pounds. What do you think?

I used to do figure skating!!! I did dance. Synchronized. And free style. You are perfect my dear for pairs skating!! If you exercise you can maintain your healthy weight because your partner has to throw you. Hold you. Lift you and catch you. I think your weight and height are excellent. Make sure your partner is at least 5" 10. Perfect balance!! Good luck!!

Not familiar with regulations for ice skaters. Is there a certain height and weight you must be within to be able to skate?
Just logic applied to the question, it would seem to me it has more to do with the guys compatibility as far as how he moves with you, how you sense each others intentions and his strength to lift you for any fancier moves. 116 is not alot to lift for a strong young guy. think cheerleaders and the guys who life them, and I am sure cheerleaders come in all sorts of sizes. It's more about one's skill I think
