Private “Booster” Lessons

Looking to enhance your learning experience? When enrolled in our Learn to Skate program you are eligible to schedule a private booster lesson with one of our valued instructors. These lessons are a great way to help your skater focus and work on skills that are more difficult to achieve and enhances the skills you already know. It also gives the skater a more structured, yet fun, additional practice time. Please contact the Skating Director to set up lessons.
