Group Lessons
Level Beta, Gamma, Delta and
Freestyle 1-10 & Adults
We offer a complete recreational skating program, which follows the guidelines of ISI for recreational skating ans testing. The ISI concept ensures enjoyable and relaxed skating while providing a complete approach to mastering the skating skills. Our qualified and professional instructors teach classes for all ages. Skaters must master every skill before progressing to the next level. Each skater is different and progresses at his/her own pace. Some classes may need to be repeated to master all the skills. A pre-test will be given two weeks before the session ends, followed by a final test given on the last day of class. Parents will be notified when their child is ready to move up to the next level. Freestyle Classes will test on a separate date, to be determined.
Beta: Backward skating, edge control along with advanced stopping.
Gamma: Basic style with advanced outside three turns, mohawks, and hockey stops.
Delta: Forward inside/outside edges, inside three turns and more aggressive skating techniques.
Freestyle 1-10: Basic to advanced jumps, spins and dance step sequences. A program containing the maneuvers of each level must be passed before moving up. Private lessons, in addition to classes are encouraged at this level.
Adults: A combination of all above, but at the individual skater’s pace.
Testing - Skaters must master every skill before progressing to the next level. However, each skater is different and progresses at his/her own pace. Some classes may need to be repeated to master all the skills. A pre-test will be given 2 weeks before the session ends, followed by a final test given on the last day of class. Parents will be notified when their child is ready to move up to the next
level. Freestyle Classes will test on a separate date, to be determined. There will be a $10.00 test fee for Freestyle Tests.
Ballet for Skaters
Dancers will learn artistic presentation, alignment and classical movement using barre and center combinations. Develop excellence in attention to and execution of artistic detail while learning expression more fully. Enjoy the continued benefits that dance offers, such as greater flexibility, improved coordination, increased strength, and a higher self-esteem while building core strength (a stabilized center), whole body awareness, and an understanding of ‘line’, timing and musicality
Power, Edge, Off-Ice Jump Classes
These classes are designed for the Delta level skater and up. Skaters learn edge quality, strength, flexibility, conditioning and agility through skill-enhancing drills.
