Take a one-on-one ice skating lesson with one of our coaches during public ice skating session times or during our freestyle session times for higher-level skaters. A private lesson is a great way to get additional coaching on the skills that you are learning in our group lessons. It is also recommended for individuals who learn best in a one-on-one setting. Most skaters begin private lessons when they want to commit more time to learning and mastering ice skating skills, or are looking to pursue being a competitive figure skater.
Take the next step to showcase what you have learned in group lessons by participating in our camps in the spring and summer, shows, and in our annual I.S.I. competition in May. These programs are a great opportunity for skaters at all levels to demonstrate their mastery of ice skating skills. They learn choreography, and group or solo ice skating programs. Skaters will also learn the spirit of competition, showmanship, sportsmanship, and teamwork, and be able to showcase their skating skills and growth.
