CanSkate Advanced
Come join us for a fun, new exciting
program designed for skaters focusing on the more advanced stages
of the Canskate program. Led by certified professional
coaches this 25 week group based program will give skaters the
opportunity to continue learning fundamental skating skills such
as forwards/backwards skating, edges, stopping, and turning while
being introduced to other areas of figure skating such as ice
dancing, skating skills, freeskate and interpretive skating.
Group coaching by a professional coach will be given for a full 60
minutes of the 90 minute session. The number of skaters on
the ice will be limited to ensure skaters are able to utilize the
full ice surface to further expand their skating skills. In
the past this program has been run on our intermediate session.
It now however has its own ice time and is strictly for CanSkate
Advanced skaters which will mean the number of skaters on the ice
is greatly reduced.
This program will encourage skaters to develop creativity,
musicality, interpretation of music, as well as the use of space,
rhythm, line and style. Skaters will have fun while learning
the basics of executing jumps, spins, footwork, field movements
and stroking. Special event days, badges and other
incentives will encourage skaters to develop and gain confidence
as they learn at their own pace. This program is an
excellent way to introduce skaters to a more advanced level of
skating while at the same time providing structure and fun for the
skaters throughout the session.
Please come join us as we learn and enjoy skating together!
