The Junior Academy Program is the skater’s entry into figure skating, and incorporates both group lesson times and independent practice times. The focus of this program is to perfect the basic skating skills such as edge control, balance and body positioning. The skaters will learn good stroking skills, new dance skills, introduction to synchronized skating, music interpretation skills, jumps, and spins.
Skaters will receive assessments from our coaching staff a minimum of twice throughout the program.
The Junior Academy program is 45 minutes, twice per week - Mondays & Wednesdays 6:00 - 6:45 pm
Our Junior Academy program runs for 20 weeks- 10 weeks before Christmas, and 10 weeks after Christmas break.
Our Club hosts a Winter Showcase near the middle of December. The Junior Academy skaters have the opportunity to take part in showcase practices and in our Winter Showcase at no cost.
Please contact one of our coaches to discuss if this program would be a good fit for your skater!
