This class is a combination of Power and Conditioning/Jumps and Spins where a group of participants work with a few instructors on the skills they want to perfect! Some examples of skills that can be worked on are:

• Focuses on strengthening stroking technique, developing power and proper edge control
• Emphasis on extension, quickness, power, speed, posture, and endurance
• For skaters wanting to improve and enhance their abilities
• Skaters can begin to learn proper jump and spin techniques appropriate to their skill level

• These are meant to be one-on-one lessons. We will not allow more than one person to register and be on the ice with an instructor. 
• For the length of the session, you will receive one-on-one lessons from a skating instructor who can help you focus on the skills you want to master.
• Day one will be the time to chat with the instructor about what you want to work on over the 4- or 6-week period.
• We do not allow make-up classes for private lessons within Learn-to-skate due to space on the ice.
• Prices:
  • 4-week session - Members: $115 | Non-Members - $125
  • 6-Week session(s) - Members: $170 | Non-Members - $185

• Our instructor’s main goal for all beginner courses (Tots, Basic, and Adult 1 and 2) is for students to get used to the ice, have fun, learn how to skate, and improve those skills.
• Each student will learn at their own pace. It is very common for students to be at the same level for a couple of sessions in order to become a strong skater. We want to make sure everyone is not only comfortable but confident with their skills before moving on to the next level.
• You or your child will fall. We teach all students to fall down and how to get back up in our beginner course. Keep in mind you or your child's progress, when trying a new skill and giving it your/their all they can and will fall down BUT they can get back up! That’s part of what we teach.
• Please enjoy watching your child or friend from behind the glass or in the stands. People and children can become confused when parents or friends try to shout corrections from behind the glass. Along with that, we do not offer any parent-child or parent-tot classes due to safety concerns. Only students and instructors are allowed on the ice.
• Helmets are recommended for tots. Helmets are available to borrow and are located at the skate check window.
• Dress warmly. Remember mittens but wear only one pair of thin socks. Sweaters or some sort of long-sleeved shirt is recommended for all levels. Large puffy coats are not recommended. Layers are better than coats. Jeans or pants made of stiff materials are also not recommended.

• If you have not pre-registered, arrive at least 45 minutes before your first lesson begins. There is no guarantee that spots will be open for those who did not register online before the first day.
• Arrive at the Ice Arena at least 20 minutes before your lesson begins. 
• Please check in by grabbing your name tag at the front table in the lobby. A shape will be stated on your nametag. Look for an instructor holding your shape to find your class!
• Trade your shoes for a pair of skates at the skate rental window. We do not have half sizes, so please try the size closest to your true shoe size.
• Please bring your own safety gear. We might have some helmets for those who need one, but we cannot promise that we will have enough for all those in need.
• Please wait to enter the ice until an instructor is present on the ice.
• All skaters will meet off-ice every day in specified locations with their group lesson Instructors. Check with the front table to find out where to meet.

• On the last day of the session, instructors will have all students run through all the main skills that were taught in the course and grading them on a “pass” or “needs improvement" basis.
• After class, you will be able to pick up your report card from one of the instructors. Feel free to ask questions but also be considerate of the instructor's time since they are most likely teaching another class after.
• We will have a Feedback Form available for all those who have participated in that session. Please take some time to fill it out so we can continue to improve this program.
