On-Ice

During Figure Skating Lessons, based on one’s skating level, they will work on general skating skills, jumps and spins. Skaters will work on eventually combining all of these technical skills together into a skating program for competition. All levels are taught from Beginner to Senior levels, as well as ages from Youth to Adult.

Power Lessons

During On-Ice Power Skating Lessons, the skater will work on various drills to improve speed, increase extension and enhance flow across the ice. This is accomplished first by working on basic crossover and stroking techniques and then progressing to more skating drills incorporating crossovers with turns from the “Moves in the Field.” The purpose of this is to assist in improving transitions and fluidity across the ice, which is necessary in the International Judging System.

Besides power, skaters also work on their conditioning level, through unique drills of varying durations based on skating ability and level. These drills mix various jumps with skating skills to push the athletes similar to their program.

In Power Lessons, coaches can also have their students work on increasing skating power within the skating program, where the skater, by breaking down a skating program into sections works to increase speed into and out of jumps through the transitional phases of the program. They will learn where to push and the affects one’s pattern has on skating power in order to increase their speed and power throughout the entire program. Another means for increasing speed in the program is to push the athlete into their jumps to help them become more comfortable with speed while jumping.
