World Elite Learn to Skate Program (Kids)
These classes are designed to help and or further improve the technique of (intense) movement and balance in a skater and their stride. Our teaching philosophy, in the first 3 levels is to engage with skaters, making it a great experience so they can excel and return. As they hit the last 3 levels in which we get a little deeper into the edge, we want to focus on skaters enhancing the smooth strong edges while enjoying the love for the sport. Note: Skating aids will not be allowed on the ice.
