STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive and sequential manner and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the
opportunity to take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system. Each session includes group instruction
with a professional coach plus free time for practice. Private lessons may be arranged with individual coaches. Prices vary from coach to coach. Junior and Intermediate sessions include a 30 minute Skills session which is a group on-ice session with a professional coach specifically focused on skills and edges. Skaters must wear helmets until they have completed CanSkate 5.
Star Skate runs from the week of September 12, 2011 until the week of March 28, 2012, excluding Christmas break (Dec 23-Jan 6) and March Break (week of March 12)

| Important Note: on Shared Sessions: In order to maximize our programming options within our ice allocation, we are offering a number of shared sessions. Parents and skaters are reminded that it is the responsibility of all skaters to maintain an awareness of where they are on the ice in relation to all other skaters. Coaches will instruct all skaters at the beginning of the season on ice etiquette and usage policies in order to create and maintain a safe skating environment. |
