Learn to skate


Learn to skate' courses are designed for those beginner skaters who want to continually improve their ability from week to week.

The instructor(s) will continually assess your style and ability through out the length of the course and will certify you through each level as your ability improves.

There are two different lengths of 'Learn to skate' courses (the six and the ten weeks). Both course types comprise of one half hour lesson per week.

A 'Learn to skate' course has complete exclusivity of the ice rink.

The amount someone learns in these courses is highly dependent on the abilities of the individual. There are no set timelines that all skaters must follow. If one skater is progressing and learning quicker than the main group then that person is moved up a group. This means that all our skaters are continually learning new techniques at the rate that they're comfortable with.

The weekly courses are currently run on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. If there is a public session after the lesson you are welcome to stay on the ice at a subsidised rate (£1.50).
