Frequently Asked Questions
My child is older and has never tried skating before. Should I sign them up for this?
Yes! Basic Levels 1-2 in figure skating are designed for beginners with little or no experience on the ice. These introductory levels help skaters build confidence and learn simple movements that form the foundation for more advanced skills, including jumps and spins.
What if I am not sure they will like it, can we just TRY it before signing up?
