About this class
Take your skating to the next level! Designed for skaters who want to refine their technique, sharpen their artistry, and boost their overall confidence on the ice, this high-energy session blends edge quality, power, speed, and expression. Each week, you’ll work on advanced turns, transitions, and performance components that make your skating shine in both practice and competition.
Arrive early for our free off-ice warm-up at 4:45 PM to activate the muscles you’ll use on the ice. Then step onto the rink prepared to glide faster, jump higher, and perform with greater precision and presence. Whether your goal is to master challenging elements, enhance your performance scores, or simply feel stronger and more expressive in your skating, this class will inspire and challenge you every step of the way!

About this class
This 30-minute small group class introduces skaters to ice dance steps, patterns, 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 program. 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. The class will help prepare skaters to earn LTSUSA ice dance badges or take USFS ice dance tests. Dances can be performed either solo or with a partner. Ice dance is great for skaters who want to improve their edges and musicality, and for those not inclined to jump and spin.
This class is for Blue Edge FSC of CT club members who have U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) or Learn to Skate USA (LTSUSA) membership and are in Basic 4 or Adult 4 and above.
During the fall 2026–27 term, the class will be offered in two blocks. We encourage skaters to participate in both.

About this class
This focused, technique-driven class is designed for skaters who have already built a strong foundation on the ice. Each session emphasizes improving edge quality, control, turns, transitions, power, and overall skating efficiency.

This class provides a supportive, encouraging environment for adults committed to growing their skating ability and challenging themselves.
This class is created for adults and older teens who have passed Adult 5 or Basic 5 or can comfortably perform skills at that level. Participants must be members of U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) or Learn to Skate USA (LTSUSA). Skaters do not have to be Blue Edge members.
