We use My Studio for class and ice time registrations. Simply go to the app store, type in “My Studio” (it’s in green) and download it! You can login through your Google, Facebook or Email. Our studio code is “Premier.”

Under the “Resources” tab in the app, there is more information about ice skates, helmets, the curriculum, etc. All skating families are encouraged to read through this information.

Each skater in Premier skating classes needs to have a Learn to Skate USA membership for skaters to have insurance and to earn badges! Each skater needs their own member number. It is only $20 and take about two minutes to register for the membership. Go to learntoskateusa.com to sign up. Memberships are valid until June 30th, and then skaters need to renew their memberships. Skaters are not allowed to be on the ice without a Learn to Skate USA membership.

All skaters in our programs need to provide their own skates. Skaters are most successful in class when they wear leather figure skates that are very supportive around the ankles. The skates should not have wrinkles around the ankles, should be stiff enough so the skater’s ankles do not wiggle, and the top of the skate should not flip flop back and forth.

and have a sharpened blade that does not have rust or nicks in it.

Good figure skates can be found at used sporting good stores (i.e. Play It Again) and other ice skate and sporting good stores. A Google search helps you find the ones in your area. However, not all stores sell quality skates. Make sure to follow the instructions above to find supportive skates. Amazon and other online stores also have figure skates.

Wherever you buy your ice skates, just make sure you know the return policy.

Skaters should wear layers of athletic clothes that are warm and easy to move in. During the winter, wear a winter coat since that is when rinks are the coldest.

All skaters should wear gloves or mittens.

Skaters unstable on their feet should wear a helmet. The helmet should be secure on the skater’s head, should cover their forehead and can be a bike, hockey or scooter helmet.

Please do not wear shinguards to class. For skaters new to ice skating, shinguards makes it very challenging for them to stand back up once they have fallen.

Every skater is going to learn at their won pace. Some levels may be easier for skaters than other levels. There are many skills to learn in ice skating and skills at the higher levels in skaters is very dependent upon how well a skater learned a more basic skill. At Premier, we aim to keep skaters challenged and learning new things, but we also focus on skaters learning good quality skills and developing correctly.

If a level is easy for a skater, they may pass that level in 6-8 weeks, and other levels may take skaters longer to pass, and that is okay as long as kids are learning a lot!

Skaters between the ages of 4- 12 years old are welcome to join our Aspire Figure Skating Classes to begin learning figure skating skills! Skaters are required to be able to perform forward crossovers with a glide to join our Aspire classes. If you are unsure if your skater is ready to join Aspire Figure Skating Classes, please email info@premierskatingacademy.com to set up a time for a coach to evaluate the skater’s skills on the ice.

Private skating lessons can be for anyone! Once a private lesson request is made, we see what coach has an opening in their schedule to work with the skater. Most coaches are looking to work with skaters who are interested in becoming competitive figure skaters.

Please see our Private Lesson Request page under the “Figure Skating” heading.
