Snowplow Sam 1

For skaters with little or no skating experience. Emphasis will be on marching, gliding, balance and control. Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of your class to get your skates on. Skate rental for classes is $3.00/pair. You may pre-pay for the session upon registration. Your skater will need to wear warm clothes including athletic-style pants or leggings, socks that go higher than the ankle, jacket or sweatshirt, and gloves or mittens. We discourage snow pants as they are bulky and usually slippery making it difficult for the skater to stand up on their own. On the first day of classes, your skater’s instructors will go over basics in the lobby before getting on the ice, including how to march on ice and how to properly fall down and get up. We know that for most of your children, this is the first time they are ice skating. Our instructors are trained to work with absolute beginners. After the first week, your skater can come directly to the ice at the time of their class. There will be an evaluation on the second to last week of class to determine their next class placement. Ice skating involves a considerable amount of balance, control and concentration. Please be sure that your skater has had a snack and has used the bathroom prior to class. Ice show rehearsals begin the first week of February. The ice show will be held March 20-22, 2026.
