All About Figure Skating

Figure Skating Overview

The mission of our program is to provide a goal-oriented program that encourages figure skating at all levels and enhances the quality of skills.

The objectives of the program are:

To provide a fun and safe skating experience for the beginner as well as the more advanced skater

To teach correct technique of the simple basic elements

To promote health and physical fitness

To enable all participants to achieve the skills necessary to either skate for fun the rest of their lives or to move competently into the U.S. Figure Skating advanced test and/or competitive structure

In addition to weekly classes, we host the following events as part of the Figure Skating Program:
