Open Freestyle: Friday & Saturday Classes

Hello Skaters and Coaches,

Please consider signing up for the Learn to Skate Open Freestyle ice time on Friday and Saturday mornings. Historically, these ice times were used as open ice for skaters wanting extra practice or a time for coaches and skaters to work together. Last year we moved away from the daily drop in option to registering for the full session only. This fall session Friday Open Freestyle runs from 9/8 to 12/15 with the exception of 11/24. The Saturday Open Freestyle follows the same timeframe as the other Learn to Skate classes: 9/9-10/28. The cost is equal to $8 per skate.

Currently, we do not have enough skaters to run either session. I would like to see a minimum of five skaters registered by Noon on Thursday 9/7 to order to run the hour long skates. If we do have to cancel the classes we will inform those who are registered and refund the fee.

Rehearsals resume this Sunday, March 26th. Please refer to your rehearsal schedule. 

Technical and Dress Rehearsals are mandatory. For an explanation of how these nights will be run, please review the following posts:

We can’t wait to see the skaters hit the ice. They have been working incredibly hard!

Ice Show 2023: Technical Rehearsal (Thur. 3/30)

Each group will have the opportunity to skate through their routines twice. We will be utilizing theatrical lighting throughout the night. Younger groups are scheduled earlier in the evening, with our older groups towards the end of the night. Skaters do not wear their costumes for technical rehearsal. Learn to Skate groups (Teddy Bear-Basic 6) will sit with their groups on the bottom bleacher by their group sign prior to skating their routine. Freestyle Skaters may utilize the west entrance space and bleachers to gather. We will announce throughout the night when each number is free to leave for the evening.

Ice Show 2023: Dress Rehearsal (Fri. 3/31)

All skaters must be at the rink and in their costumes, ready to go. Teddy Bear-Basic 6 skaters will be seated on the bottom bleachers with their groups and are encouraged to watch the show. Freestyle skaters (Glee Club, Cruisin for a Bruisin, Detention, and Footloose) will utilize locker rooms (Spash locker room and locker room 5) to change. ALL SKATERS MUST HAVE THEIR SKATES ON AND READY TO TAKE THE ICE AT 5PM. We will be staging our Finale at this time and will have all skaters take the ice (skaters may wear jackets on the ice during this time to stay warm). After we go through the finale, we will run through the entire show in the order below. All numbers will skate once. One night and two-night soloists will skate back to back. You are not required to stay the entire evening after your skater has skated their routines.
