Learn-to-Skate Group Lessons
The Ice Arena offers group lessons for children as young as 18 months of age through adults. All levels are offered throughout the season. The learn-to-skate program is a recreational skating program sanctioned through the Ice Skating Institute.
Take advantage of discounts available for early bird registration, residents, beginners, and families. Summer Group Lessons are offered in July and August on Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings. A series consists of seven half-hour classes, skate rental during the lesson and a seven-admission public session pass.
Lessons are offered during the fall/winter months with new classes beginning in October, December, February and April.
The fall/winter learn-to-skate brochure has information about classes for October through April. Registration for Series 2 December/January learn to skate classes will be held November 16-29 with classes beginning December 1 for all ages and levels.
In addition to group lessons, our coaching staff is available for private lessons. Private lessons are arranged directly with one of our qualified instructors or through our Skating Director. Please contact the Ice Arena at 301-809-3090.
