Learn to Skate this Fall/Winter!
LTS group lessons will introduce you and your children to the thrill and athletic challenge of skating in a fun, safe, learning environment. Our professional staff teaches a progression of skills to ensure safety, beginning with fundamentals and working toward edge control, advanced footwork, jumps, and spins.
Whether you are new to skating or interested in enhancing your existing figure skating or hockey skills, we encourage you to join us. We provide a comprehensive program for all ages and abilities. Our coaches will help you develop the necessary motor skills and confidence.

All Learn to Skate classes are 1 hour: 30 minutes instruction + 30 minutes practice/free skate afterward. Each series is 7 weeks long and costs $108 unless noted otherwise. If a skater registers for two LTS classes per week, tuition is $190. Tuition includes skate rental. The last day of class is a special “Buddy Day” where your child can invite a friend or sibling to skate at no charge. There is no instruction on this day, just lots of fun skating with a buddy.

Additional Information
Youth and Adult classes are taught using the U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) basic skills program curriculum standards. Skaters progress through proficiency levels, each level requiring a completion of 6-8 skating elements. Skaters are evaluated on the 6th class. It’s important to understand that each skater progresses at his or her own pace. Most often, it takes more than one 6-week series to complete and advance to the next level.
Preschool/Tiny Tot classes are designed specifically for the preschoolers age 3 and 1/2 to age 6. Our professional staff will teach the fundamentals of skating while incorporating music, bubbles, and play.
We offer Adult Beginning and Intermediate classes at the same time as our children’s programs. Don’t just watch, participate!
