StarSkate Program

StarSkate Junior

Junior StarSkate at the Halifax Skating Club

Junior Skaters are working mainly on the Preliminary skills, dances, and free style program. Junior Skaters must have passed CanSkate Badge 6 and but have not yet passed any part of the Preliminary Free Skate. Junior instruction uses a small group lesson format of 45 minutes (usually with no more than five skaters in a group) taught by HSC coaches. Skaters may arrange for private or semi-private instruction for the remainder of the session. Junior Skaters typically skate two or more sessions each week. Skaters may test their progress by taking Skate Canada tests at specially arranged test days throughout the year. At this level, wearing a helmet is a parental decision. Skaters must wear figure skates.

Session fees include ice costs, badges, group instruction and stroking lessons. Private and semi-private coaching fees and test fees are extra.

About StarSkate

The STARSkate program offers the opportunity for skaters of all ages to develop figure skating skills in four areas: Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Style, and Interpretive. Skaters develop their skills and abilities in each level progressively and sequentially and may test and be recognized for their skills through the Skate Canada nationally standardized testing system. Information about the testing levels is available on the StarSkate page of the Skate Canada website. StarSkaters may choose to compete in local inter-club competitions and provincial StarSkate competitions. The most successful competitors can advance to the national StarSkate competition.
