  • Yes. Adults with foundational skills are welcome to attend.

    Skaters are always welcome to join ANY class that is level-appropriate, regardless of age. However, we also recognize that all ages do not necessarily learn the same way or along the same trajectory. So, when attendance and interest allows, classes can be grouped by age AND skill-level to provide a supportive community for all our skaters. Skaters learn all the same fundamental skills taught in our Learn to Ice Skate curriculum and then branch out to explore these Specialty Classes.

  • Classes are offered weekly every Saturday.

  • Yes. Many skaters supplement Specialty Classes with private lessons for individualized feedback.
