The fully supervised family skate centre will also recommence its Learn to Skate and Blade Class on the 6th of January 2018. The class lasts for an hour and coaches teach participants basic and important skating skills. The session includes the Skateaway Star Class Program which involves regular testing and giving of feedbacks to the skaters.
Meanwhile, there have been no schedules yet for their Artistic Skating Training for 2018. These sessions are being conducted alternately by 10 coaches from Tuesday to Saturday. All students under this class are automatic members of the Skateaway’s Artistic Club who usually compete in local, national, and international competitions. This training involves two parts. The first is finishing the Learn to Skate and Blade Class and the second is progressing through the Artistic Development Class. After finishing both levels, students can then advance to private tuition. For more information on this, please contact Head Coach Jodie Johnson-Garufo here.
