CanSkate

Skate Canada's national learn to skate program.  We are pumped and ready for our second year with using the new CanSkate program based on Sport Canada’s long term athlete development (LTAD) principles. Exciting features include a fresh look, awards, great tools for coaches and most importantly a tested and proven new curriculum and delivery methods that guarantee skater success in developing stronger basic skills and developing them faster. But there’s more! The new program also includes specific skills that pertain to hockey, ringette, speed skating and figure skating. The result is a dynamic new program that prepares all skaters for virtually every ice sport.

Introductory StarSkate & Skills

Groups lessons beyond CanSkate Levels providing opportunity to work towards a variety of Skate Canada test levels.  STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. These group lessons teach figure skating skills in a progressive and sequential manner and include specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system.

Introductory Synchronized Skating

Recreational class introducing the technique and elements required for synchronized skating.

Synchronized skating, or “synchro” is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music, while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Skate Canada’s SynchroSkate program includes a number of Synchronized Skating categories which accommodate skaters at any age and skill level.
