SYNCHROSKATE/ICE THEATER
The SynchroSkate/Ice Theater program is for skaters interested in team skating, without the pressure of assessments and singles competition! SynchroSkate offers a team component to the sport of figure skating. Often characterized by speed, intricate formations and challenging step sequences, it is a great way to build skating skills in a team environment.
SynchroSkate is offered to all skaters who have passed their any Star 1 assessment (dance, skills or freeskate). It will be held on Tuesdays from 5 pm to 6 pm. The session will include 45 minutes of group instruction and 15 minutes of open practice time. There will be no Star assessments offered in this program. However, there will be opportunities to showcase skills and formations learned throughout the year to parents, family members and friends and there may be an opportunity to compete as a team at a southern competition in a showcase event.
Skaters at the senior level program who also want to try team skating are welcome to sign up for the SynchroSkate/Ice Theater program as well.
