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.
