Are You New to Ice Skating?
Beginner level group lessons are recommended for those who have had little to no prior professional ice skating instruction. Beginner level group lessons are called "Tot 1/2" for ages 4-6 and "Pre Alpha" for ages 7–13 and 14 and up.
Does your skater want to increase their training or to experience what it might be like if they decide to train like a competitive figure skater? The Virginia Ice Skating Academy is great for skaters who want to increase their training and practice on and off the ice will help your skater to achieve advanced maneuvers and to strengthen their basic foundational skating skills.
Fairfax Ice Arena offers our talented young skaters ages 4-9 an affordable, comprehensive package of on and off ice group lessons in a small setting, and practice to help them accelerate their training and transition from recreational to more advanced, competitive figure skating.
Are public skate sessions too busy for you to practice your edges, footwork, jumps and spins? Are you currently in a group lesson level Gamma and up? Practice during a Freestyle Session. Freestyle session is ice time that are level-specific and limited to 25 or less skaters on the ice. Freestyle sessions are a great way to have your private lesson and to practice your jumps, spins and program. Learn more about freestyle sessions from your group lesson or private lesson coach, and at the lesson office.
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 for individuals who want to take their skate training to the next level and commit to mastering figure skating skills and pursue competitive figure skating.
All private lessons at Fairfax Ice Arena are taught by designated Fairfax Ice Arena coaches only. Private lessons are held during public ice skating sessions and freestyle sessions for high-level figure skaters. Be sure to check our most up-to-date schedules for public ice skating and freestyle sessions. Private lessons can not be accommodated outside of these times.
To schedule your first private lesson with our instructors, please call the lesson office at (703) 323-1132 or submit your private lesson request online. We will follow up with you in two weeks (minimum).
This 5-week, 60 minute program is for skaters ages 3-5 years old. Class includes ice breaker activities to build confidence and social skills, skating skills for beginners and developing balance, and off-ice games and stories.
