Figure Skating
StarSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skills, free skate and artistic skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive and sequential manner and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada Assessments through a nationally standardized assessment system. Skaters who have mastered figure skating skills in StarSkate may also choose to pursue synchronized skating or pairs skating.
Off-ice
As skills become more challenging, off ice plays a key element in athlete development. Off-ice helps to develop flexibility, agility and strength, while supporting skaters in practicing new skills on land. Skaters are required to wear running shoes and clothing that allows them to move and stretch easily and safely.
