Basic Skills teaches ice skating and provides the best foundation for figure skating,
hockey, and speedskating. Six progressive levels
introduce forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, and turns.
Upon completion of the Basic Skills 1-6 levels, skaters will be able to confidently
advance to more specialized areas of skating. All classes will be well-structured with
the focus on proper skill development taught in a positive, FUN, and social
environment. Skaters will progress at their own rate and advance after skill mastery
is demonstrated.
