Skills, Tests, Achievement, Recognition- that's what StarSkate is all about!
Our StarSkate program is for those skaters who have successfully progressed through our CanSkate program and have an interest in pursuing figure skating. StarSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop the fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of dance, freeskate, skills and interpretive skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches in both group and/or private lessons format in a progressive and sequential manner. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada tests through a nationally standardized testing system. StarSkate has been the mainstay of figure skating for over four decades.
Once your skater is working on Stage 5/6 of the CanSkate program, they will be invited to move up to our StarSkate session where they will have the opportunity to develop the fundamental skills needed for figure skating.
As your skater's skills increase, they will gradually move through the 10 levels of the StarSkate program. StarSkate provides the tools for skaters to develop self-confidence, motivation, time-management skills and determination.
Skaters at this level will have the option to participate in competitions throughout the season as well as be introduced to the test and assessment stream.
Our StarSkate sessions are broken down into 4 levels:
Junior Pre-Star, Junior Star 1, Junior Star 2 and Senior Star
