Star Skate Program
Star Skate stands for Skills, Tests, Achievement, and Recognition. Skate Canada's Star Skate program offers opportunities for skaters to develop basic figure skating skills in four different disciplines with the option of taking Skate Canada Tests while earning awards and incentives designed for this group of skaters.
Figure skating skills are taught in group and or private lesson format in the following disciplines: Interpretive, Ice Dance, Freeskating and Skating Skills which are grouped into three levels - Primary, Intermediate and Senior. Skaters progress through these levels.
Star Skate Program Structure
The structure of the Star Skate program differs from CanSkate and Star Academy. Unless otherwise specified, the session fee is for ice time only. Skaters receive private or semi private lessons from a professional coach of their choice. These sessions are designated for skaters at a particular skill level. This is done for safety reasons.
In Freeskating sessions, skaters practice jumps, spins, footwork and programs independently. Private lessons are booked with a coach during these ice times. During stroking or group time, skaters receive group instruction from a professional coach. Coaching fees are included in the group or stroking session fees.
In Skating Skills sessions, skaters again work independently unless they have a booked lesson with their coach. There are several levels, which contains specific exercises and elements such as turns, stops and field movements.
Ice Dance has levels of specific dances the skaters learn. The skaters work independently on the dance sessions unless in a booked lesson with their coach.
