Figure Skating 101
Prerequisites: Passed the Pre-Alpha Level in Learn To Skate
Our Figure Skating 101 program is designed for skaters who have successfully completed the Pre-Alpha level in our Learn to Skate program and are ready for more sport-specific instruction. Skaters will be introduced to beginner jumps, spins, turns, and extensions, within the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta levels. These levels may be run individually or combined into groups, depending on class size and skill level.
Level evaluations and certificates will be awarded ONLY to those skaters who demonstrate the required skills at a passing level according to established criteria.
