Saturday Morning Skating Class List

Tots (Ages 4-5)

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.

Youth Introductory (Children Ages 6+)

Youth Introductory includes a 25 minute group lesson on the ice and 25 minutes of individual practice on the ice weekly. This level is sub-divided into 3 levels and takes skaters from their first marching steps through swizzles, pumping (C-Cuts), scooter pushes, sustained edges, crossovers and basic turns. 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).

Adult Introductory

Adult Introductory includes a 25 minute group lesson on the ice and 25 minutes of individual practice time on the ice weekly. This level teaches marching steps through swizzles, pumping or C-cuts, scooter pushes, sustained edges, crossovers and basic turns with correct blade usage and body alignment to ensure a sound foundation for further advancement. It does so through pacing and teaching modalities which are mindful of the distinct learning advantages and challenges faces by adult skaters. Adult Introductory is $20/week (ice time included).
