Class Descriptions

Jumps and Spins Clinic

Skaters will work on honing in their freestyle skills with off and on ice practice.  The first half of the class skaters will work on power and form through their spin entries.  Skaters will also work on spin variation and change of direction spins.  Jumps will be broken down from entry to exit, with a focus on power through the jump and landing execution.

Performance Camp

This camp will work on skating with expression, music interpretation, choreography and footwork, and "performance factor".  Skaters with competition programs will get the opportunity to work with our team of coaches on applying these techniques directly to their programs during competition season!   *note this is open to all skaters with or without a competition program*
