Why Choose the Learn-to-Skate Program at Elite Figure Skating Academy?
At Elite Figure Skating Academy, we offer a Learn-to-Skate experience that stands well above the rest—defined by structure, personalized instruction, and measurable progress. Our program is designed not only to teach the fundamentals of skating but also to foster confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love for the sport in a focused, supportive environment.
While our curriculum follows the core structure of the official Learn to Skate USA program, we’ve also developed our own unique training approach to make learning fun, engaging, and effective for long-term development. Our certified coaches—experienced in both competitive and recreational skating—are passionate about helping every skater reach their full potential, one glide at a time.
What Sets Us Apart from Other Programs
- Skater Placement by Skill Level: Unlike many local programs that group skaters of all levels together—leading to disorganized classes and uneven instruction—our skaters are carefully placed into groups based on skill level. This promotes focused learning and better progress for each individual.
- Low Instructor-to-Skater Ratio: While other programs often have large groups with minimal supervision, our classes maintain a low instructor-to-skater ratio. This ensures every skater receives the individualized attention they need to develop proper technique and build a strong foundation.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: Our curriculum builds upon the core Learn to Skate USA framework, enhanced with Elite’s own proven methods designed to make classes more engaging, dynamic, and effective for long-term development. This hybrid approach allows us to maintain nationally recognized standards while offering a learning experience that’s both fun and uniquely our own.
- Structured Progress Tracking: Most learn-to-skate programs do not provide formal assessments or progress updates. At Elite, we provide detailed progress cards after each lesson and a comprehensive evaluation at the end of every session. Families stay informed and skaters stay motivated.
- Organized, Professional Classes: Where some programs struggle with chaotic instruction and a lack of clear structure, our classes are run with professionalism and precision. Every session is planned, purposeful, and delivered in a safe, high-quality training environment.
- State-of-the-Art Facilities: Our skaters train in a modern, well-maintained Hershey Park Arena and Giant Center built to support safety, learning, and enjoyment on the ice.
