Welcome to the Ice Vault Learn to Skate

Something happens the moment your child’s skates touch the ice. It’s beautiful. Surreal. Empowering. It’s the experience where kids learn as much about skating as they learn about themselves.

Whether you wish to pursue hockey or figure skating or just be able to enjoy the occasional arena visit with family and friends, our Learn to Skate classes are your first step to success!

Each level teaches skills that encourage basic coordination, balance, and movement in a fun atmosphere.

Your child learns not only glides, swizzles, edges, and crossovers but also positivity, confidence, and personal strength! Lessons in skating become lessons in life. It’s about the journey that will shape your children to one day become great people.

We follow the tried and true Learn to Skate USA curriculum which require skaters demonstrate skill mastery to our Learn to Skate USA certified instructors before progressing to the next level. Instructors evaluate students and provide report cards to skaters at the completion of the lesson series.
