Ice Dance with Coach Lizzie

Who: Blue Edge FSC of CT club members who have U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) or Learn to Skate USA (LTSUSA) membership and are Basic Skill level 3 and above.

When: Sundays, 12:15-12:45PM. Fall term Block B classes starting November 3, 2024. Click here for schedule.

Where: M&T Bank Arena, Quinnipiac York Hill campus

Class Description:  This 30 mins, small group class introduces skaters to ice dance steps and rhythmic performance to a piece of music. Ice dance steps and patterns in this class align with the Learn to Skate USA ice dance badge program and will allow skaters to earn ice dance badges. Ice dancers begin by learning dance steps such as swing rolls and progressives, and a series of set pattern dances to various musical rhythms like Dutch Waltz, Canasta Tango, and Rhythm Blues. Dances can be performed either solo or with a partner. Solo Dance competition has become very popular recently and experience from this class will enable skaters to test and compete in these competitions. Ice dance is great for adults who may not be inclined to jumps and spins, and for anyone who wants to work on their edges and musicality.

Class Structure: During the Fall 2024-25 term, the class will be offered in two blocks. Block A – 6 weeks (September and October). Block B – 7 weeks (November and December). Registration for Block B will open in late October. We encourage skaters to participate in both blocks. Participants of block B will present an Ice Dance performance during the club Holiday Show on December 15, 2024.

Cost: $140 for 7-week session (Block B).
