Skating Instructors

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Private lessons are individual lessons. They may be scheduled throughout the day during a public session or in a freestyle
session (schedules are available at the front desk). We currently have 15 instructors on staff. Each instructor sets their own rate
(between $60.00 and $100.00 per hour) and scheduling. If you are interested in setting up a private lesson: talk to the instructor
directly or contact Julie Stahl or Olivia Langston/Skating Director, at 817-419-0095. Lessons are usually done in 15 minute increments. Skaters pay the coach directly and session fees are paid at the front desk.

 

 

Learn to Skate Group classes are offered on Tuesday or Saturday (beginner classes). Classes meet once a week for 30
minutes. Skaters receive free skate rental on the day of their class plus unlimited free public skating admission during the LTS class
session. Each skater will also receive 3 free guest admission passes, for friends or family. There is a 10% discount (Full price
classes) for additional family members. Our classes follow the ISI (Ice Sports Industry) curriculum. We accept enrollment forms at
any time for our 7 sessions. If you have any questions, contact Julie Stahl or Olivia Langston/Skating Director at 817-419-0095.
