Figure skating teaching professionals would be happy to assist you with private lessons. Please feel free to contact them directly, as they are the stewards of their private lesson schedules and lesson rates.

Skaters will need to pay the appropriate admission fees for ice time and skate rental at the front desk and pay the professional directly for their private lessons. Rates will vary by instructor.
