Figure Skating Professional Staff

We are fortunate to have a fantastic staff of professional senior coaches each with their own specialties such as: Choreography, Freestyle, Moves in the Field, Ice Dancing, Synchronized Skating, Power Skating and Theater on Ice. Collectively, we have former Regional, Sectional, Collegiate, National and International competitors and Disney on Ice and Ice Capades veterans. They all have a passion for coaching and work well with skaters of all ages and ability levels. Each coach charges their own rate for private lessons, as they are independent contractors. Annually, they go through extensive background checks and skill testing to ensure your skater has a positive and fun skating experience.
