Class descriptions:
Beginning and Advanced Tots
These classes are for ages 3-5. Students work on falling, marching, gliding, and moving forward and backward. Each child must wear gloves and a toboggan or helmet for protection.
Beginners (Pre-Alpha)
Beginner students work on forward and backward swizzles, backward wiggles, and 2-foot and 1-foot glides. Anyone over 5 who has never taken classes should start in a beginner class.
Alpha
Once you have passed Pre-Alpha, you move to Alpha and learn forward stroking, forward crossovers in both directions, and a snowplow stop.
Beta
Students who have passes Alpha now work on backward stroking, backward crossovers in both directions, plus a T-stop with each foot.
Gamma
Students who have passed Beta move on to work on two different kinds of turns (forward outside edge 3-turns and inside mohawks), as well as a hockey stop.
Delta
This is the last basic level. Students work on inside edge 3-turns, forward edges, bunny hops, lunges, and shoot-the-ducks.
Class Benefits:
