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.​​

As skaters advance to higher levels, more training and practice on and off the ice are needed to achieve advanced maneuvers and to strengthen basic foundational skating skills. Fairfax Ice Arena offers our talented young skaters ages 4-9 an affordable, comprehensive package of lessons and practice to help them accelerate their training and transition from recreational to more advanced, competitive figure skating.

Freestyle Session

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, 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. 

Private Lesson

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 want to 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 submit a private lesson request form. We will follow up with you in two weeks (minimum). During the winter season and competition season, you may see follow-ups take as long as 3-4 weeks.
