Pre-Alpha will master forward and backward swizzles, backward wiggles and one foot glides. Other skills learned include, but are not limited to edges, pumps, and two foot turns.

Alpha will master forward stroking, forward crossovers and one foot snowplow stops. Other skills learned include, but are not limited to pumping, edges, and backward one foot glides.

Beta level requirements are T-Stops, backward crossovers and backward stroking. Other skills learned include but are not limited to backward pumping, back edges, and backward to forward two foot turns.

Gamma level requirements are forward outside three turns, Mohwak combination, and hockey stops. Other skills included in the curriculum include two foot spins, forward and backward edges.

Delta level skaters will master inside three turns, lunge forward edges, bunny hop and shoot the duck. Other skills learned include but are not limited to two foot spins, spirals, edges, backward to forward two foot turns, backward to forward one foot transitions, and ballet jumps.

Freestyle One masters the two-foot spin, waltz jump, half flip, forward arabesque, backward edges, pivot and skate elements to a choreographed program with music.

Program Skaters practice their program with music. Music is played and performer has the right of way. This class is for Freestyle One and above, or for Booster lessons only.

Synchronized Team Skating (all ages above Pre-Alpha level) is designed to introduce skaters to synchronized skating and to familiarize them with elementary holds, elements and transitions. The curriculum is a fun introduction to the five basic elements: circle, line, block, intersection, and wheel.

Beginning Homeschool is for those who have little or no skating experience, and will learn basic skating skills and technique.

Advanced Homeschool is for skaters that have previous experience and is ready for more advanced skills.
