FIGURE SKATING - ALL LEVELS

Figure skating is a beautiful and elegant sport that requires grace, strength, and precision. Taking figure skating lessons opens up a world of opportunity for individuals of all ages to learn and develop their skills on the ice. 

One of the marvelous aspects of figure skating is that it caters to all ages and skill levels. From young children learning the basics to adults honing their technique, figure skating welcomes everyone who is willing to put on a pair of skates. It is not just a sport; it is a journey. A journey that teaches us patience, resilience, and dedication.

One of the main benefits of figure skating lessons is the chance to enhance physical fitness. Figure skaters are known for their athletic abilities, and regular lessons can improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and endurance. From basic moves like gliding and stroking to advanced jumps and spins, figure skating provides a full-body workout that helps build core stability and improves overall coordination.

In addition to physical fitness, figure skating lessons also offer mental and emotional benefits. Skating requires focus and concentration, as individuals must learn to balance their bodies and execute intricate sequences. This helps improve mental discipline and concentration skills, resulting in enhanced cognitive abilities that can be applied to other aspects of life.

Furthermore, figure skating lessons promote self-discipline and perseverance. Skaters must be patient as they progress through different levels, mastering new skills and techniques. This teaches them the importance of setting goals, working consistently towards achieving them, and overcoming obstacles along the way.

Finally, figure skating is a social sport, and lessons provide an opportunity to meet new people and build friendships. Skating in a group setting allows individuals to share their passion for the sport with others, creating a supportive and motivating environment.

Overall, figure skating lessons offer a unique and fulfilling experience for individuals seeking to challenge themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether it’s for recreation or to pursue competitive skating, the benefits of figure skating lessons extend far beyond the ice rink.

off-ice-training

OFF-ICE TRAINING

Develop strength, balance and dynamic core stabilization. Build speed, agility and co-ordination. Rotational flexibility and mechanics are emphasized for key athletic elements. Figure skating is a sport that puts significant strength and flexibility demands on the body. Some skaters have natural strength, balance, and core strength that will take them through the lower levels of skating quickly, but most skaters need to improve upon each of those attributes in order to progress to higher levels. Once the ‘naturally talented’ skaters reach a level at which double jumps and difficult spins are required, that natural ability will only take them so far. The core strength and plyometric strength requirements of the sport are significant, and at some point, a skater needs to build strength beyond what he or she naturally has. By completing an off-ice training program at least twice a week, skaters will progress their on-ice skills at a faster pace and be able to handle the strength demands of jumping, spinning, and longer programs.

THEATRE ON ICE

 Ice Theatre (also known as Theatre on Ice, TOI, and know as Ballet on Ice in Europe) is a branch of figure skating that merges technical jumps and spins with unique choreography, ice dancing, pairs moves, synchronized skating, and theater to tell a story or act out an emotion or idea. Ice Theatre can be enjoyed by the youngest to the oldest and brings out the more artistic side of figure skating. Teams consist of eight to 30 skaters on the ice telling a story together. Competitions held worldwide and can be a fun experience for all ages!

FIGURES AND SPINS PATCH

Figures Patch Compulsory figures, also called school figures, are the “circular patterns which skaters trace on the ice to demonstrate skill in placing clean turns evenly on round circles”. Compulsory figures are also called “patch”, a reference to the patch of ice allocated to each skater to practice figures.

Spin patch Spins often are not giving enough time during regular sessions, but their value is as important as jumps in our sport. Spins can be highly creative elements and we felt that it is important to allocate time just for that. Spin patches open for all levels, come and spin with us.
