Figure Skating 101
Prerequisites: Passed the Pre-Alpha Level in Learn To Skate
Our Figure Skating 101 program is designed for skaters who have passed the Pre-Alpha Level in our Learn to Skate program and are looking for sport-specific instruction. Lessons are taught in smaller groups, giving coaches more individual time with each skater when additional coaching staff is available. In this program, skaters will be introduced to beginner jumps, spins, turns and extensions.
