Whether you are brand new to figure skating, or you have competed since childhood, this is a one-of-a-kind learning environment focused specifically on the needs and learning styles of adult skaters. Emphasis is on developing the flexibility, timing, and control required to harness the power of adult physicality on the ice. Skaters may train single and multi-rotation jumps, spins, and other skills designed to help each individual athlete achieve his or her skating goals. Please dress comfortably. Wear a pair of athletic shoes and bring a spinner (if you have one), a jump rope, a yoga mat, and a bottle of water to stay hydrated! Note: If you have all of these things, throw them in the car! If you don’t have something, no worries. We have some you can borrow.
