Adult Classes

The Adult curriculum is designed for beginning through advanced skating skills. It promotes physical fitness and improves balance and coordination while teaching proper skating techniques. Adult skaters will progress at an individual rate while being challenged and motivated. This is an exciting new program for people who view skating as an enjoyable part of a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Special Class just for Adults 18 years and older. This is a 30-minute lesson on the public session.  Adults will work at their own pace and also receive unlimited AM public sessions all month.
