Rising STARS
|
This program is designed to serve as a bridge between our CanSkate and STARSkate programs and is geared toward skaters who show strong potential and an interest in pursuing figure skating.
With a focus on refining fundamental skating skills while introducing key figure skating techniques in a supportive and structured environment, this program is for skaters who have been invited to participate in the program and are also enrolled in a regular Winter CanSkate session (minimum once per week) to focus on fundamentals. CanSkate sessions fill up quickly so be sure to register online in early August! |
