Tots includes a 25-minute lesson on the ice and 25 minutes of individual practice time on the ice weekly. This class is for our youngest skaters who are brand-new to the sport or only just getting started. Participants will learn how to safely fall and get up and to march, glide and balance on the ice with instructors who have successfully brought hundreds of skaters through their first steps. Managing anxiety around skating for the first time is a priority and parents are encouraged to engage with their children and instructors when appropriate to help create a supportive atmosphere. Tots is $20/week.

All content prioritizes correct blade usage and body alignment to ensure a sound foundation for further advancement. Youth Introductory is $20/week (ice time included).
