PRIVATE LESSONS

New skaters who are interested in progressing at a faster rate than in group lessons, traditionally take one 30-minute lesson per week.

​

Skaters who are interested in participating in shows and competitions may take as many as 3-5 lessons per week. 

​

Each skater's goals are unique. Leah works with each family to set a clear path, to ensure each skater has a positive and rewarding experience on the ice.  

GETTING STARTED

SKATES

SKATES

Figure skates should hold YOU up. Not the other way around. Skates need to be properly sharpened to help you hold your edge as well. Here is an easy way to have quality beginning skates delivered to your door. Check out these Amazon links for good beginner skates. Higher level skaters who are jumping and spinning will have to go to our local shop, Dream Skates, to have skates fit in person. Dream Skates will heat mold your skates to your foot's unique shape and hand sharpen your blades.
