Aspire Program

Overview

The U.S. Figure Skating Aspire Program provides a solid foundation in figure skating through the development of athleticism and artistry, empowering skaters to be successful on and off the ice.

Border Blades Aspire Program (previously named Bridge Program) provides skaters with a transition from Border Blades Skating Academy into private lessons through the use of small group lessons and the option to practice and/or take a private lesson on Border Blades ice. Skaters will learn to train like a figure skater, from edge class to spins and jumps!

This class is for skaters who want to become figure skaters! Skaters should be able to skate at minimum, a basic 2 level (one-foot glides, backward 2 foot glides, snowplow stops). This class is not open to skaters who have already passed their pre-preliminary moves in the field test.

 Skaters will be divided into groups, based on level, to work on combining their basic skills with figure skating elements. 

Skaters will also have the opportunity to perform in our Holiday Exhibition and the annual Ice Show.
