Skating Academy

The Skating Academy is where freestyle elements begin.  Skaters will learn the basic jumps, spins and edgework involved in figure skating.  With a progression of levels, the Academy can take skaters into double jumps, spin combinations and variations, and more complex edgework.  The curriculum involved in the Academy Program is far more complex than that of the Learn to Skate program and may take longer to work through.  Once skaters reach the Academy level, we recommend at least one extra practice day per week and taking a few private lessons to help navigate some of the more difficult elements. For a list of private instructors, please see our Skating Staff Guide

Academy Levels Offered
  • LI Academy Levels 1-4 (Completion of Academy Prep 2 required)
    • Academy 4 requires skaters have a moving Axel Jump and ready to work on Double Jumps
    • See Academy Curriculum for details on levels 1-4

Academy - Jumps & Spins

Academy Jumps and Spins focuses on the movements and mechanics of jumping and spinning. This class is geared toward single jumps and basic position spins, giving the student an opportunity to get some extra class time on the more difficult elements in skating. It is a perfect complement to our more comprehensive Academy program and great for supplemental work on jump and spin techniques.
