The East Alton Skating Academy will be offering specialty classes this session.


These specialty classes are designed to enhance a skater’s skills in a particular area. There also give skaters a taste of the other skating disciplines. The classes are most helpful when taken in addition to a learn-to-skate class or private lesson. While most of our classes are for figure skaters, the power skating class is also open to hockey players looking to work on their basic skating skills and endurance.

The following classes will be offered:

Snowflake Twirl Class: This class is for the younger skaters (3-5 years old) who wish to learn basic jumps and spins. This is a fun way for the little ones to enjoy more advanced skating. This class will be taught by Kathryn McKeon and will be offered on Saturdays During LTS (11:15-11:45am)

Power Stroking Class: This class is for those skaters looking to increase their speed and endurance. It focuses on stroking and crossover drills, as well as jump and program drills.
