Basic Skills teaches the FUNdamentals of ice skating and provides the best foundation for figure skating. Six progressive levels
introduce forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, and turns. Upon completion of the Basic Skills 1-6 levels, skaters will be able to confidently
advance to more specialized areas of skating. All classes will be well-structured with the focus on proper skill development taught in a positive, FUN, and social
environment. Skaters will progress at their own rate and advance after skill mastery is demonstrated.
Discover, Learn and Play – Basic 1 and 2: These introductory levels allow new skaters with no prior skating experience to build confidence while learning to skate.
FUNdamentals – Basic 3–6: These levels develop all of the fundamental skating skills on the ice. Focus is on learning the ABCs of basic athleticism: agility, balance,
coordination and speed. Upon completion of these levels, skaters will be able to confidently advance to more specialized areas of skating.
FREE SKATE
Each free skate level is comprised of a variety of progressive skating skills, transitions, spins and jumps — all of
which build on the previous skill, providing skaters a strong foundation of all elements. These levels will be taught
in a positive and interactive group format such as a bridge program, circuit classes or as an introductory training
program. Instructors will focus on quality and mastery of skills.
Off-ice orientation:
• Equipment check: proper fit and lacing of skates, appropriate attire, safety helmets
• Practice falling and recovery, marching in place, dips and one-foot balances in skates
