Hi, Do you have dedicated skating time for preschool children?
Hello Timothy, there is currently no dedicated skating time for specific age groups. However, the SkateStar program has "Mini Blades" levels for children 5yrs and younger. This will likely be introduced in the next couple of months.
My instructor, Suvian, told me that I can consider taking private lessons as I am a fast learner. I was only a Core Blades 1 when I learned Forward and Backward crossovers. So, is it possible that I get private lessons? :)
Yes you may sign up for private lessons. Enquire at The Rink counter.
