Progressively building upon the skills learned each class, this week program provides an in depth breakdown of advanced skating skills. Every week we will do a deep dive into a skill and allow for plenty of questions, time to practice each drill, and more direct feedback to your development. This program is intended for skaters who can confidently stop, skate forward, are starting to skate backwards, and are looking to progress to new more challenging maneuvers.

 

We offer rental skates and safety pads during our lessons! If you require gear please follow this link RENTAL and lets get skating!
