Our active approved professional skating instructors are listed below. All are required to adhere to standards set by the Executive Committee. Most are members of the Professional Skaters Association (PSA), an organization which promotes the highest standards in teaching and provides seminars for its members to expand knowledge of teaching techniques. All are covered by the Club's blanket liability insurance policy when teaching Club-sponsored group lessons, and all are required to carry individual liability insurance when teaching privately.
Skaters may arrange for private lessons with approved professionals. Private lessons, appropriate to the type of session, may be scheduled at any time except during group lessons. Fees vary but are approximately $12-$15 for a 15-minute individual lesson, or around $25 for a half-hour. You may speak with the session chair for help in arranging lessons or advice on selecting a professional.
Most beginners progress rapidly during the group lessons provided in the Basic Skills sessions. Sometimes, however, a skater may get stuck on a particular skill and would profit from individual lessons. Instructors are available for private lessons during Basic Skills practice time and are willing to arrange either regular or a few "ad hoc" lessons. Lessons at this level are typically 15 minutes. The lesson does not need to be with the group instructor.
Advanced skaters usually take private lessons. Typically, 15 minute to half hour lessons are arranged in advance with any of our approved professionals.
