Highlights
Outing Highlights
From safe falling and balance to flowing direction changes
Lessons emphasize the building blocks—falling safely, finding balance and learning to glide both forward and backward—before linking those skills into continuous free skating and direction changes.
Crossovers, 3‑turns and mohawks
As skaters progress they focus on edge work and footwork: linking crossovers with 3 turns and mohawks to build momentum and fluidity around the ice.
Introduction to basic jumps under coach supervision
Coaches introduce basic jumps and work with skaters on correct technique before allowing progression to higher levels, keeping safety and solid foundations the priority.
What the day feels like
What the eight‑week course feels like on the ice
Across weekly 30‑minute lessons, skaters move through incremental technical milestones—balance drills and safe falling give way to one‑foot gliding, then direction changes and linked footwork, culminating in continuous skating sequences and supervised introductions to basic jumps, all under expert coaching.
