Program Structure: Skaters will be divided into two groups based on their skill levels:

Instructional Approach: We use a variety of fun and interactive methods to teach skating, including toys, games, and music. This approach keeps children engaged and excited about learning to skate.

Session Format: Each session is structured to include the following:

• 10-minute Instructional Warm-Up: Skaters will participate in fun and dynamic warm-up activities to get ready for the session.
