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 or Learn to Skate classes, into figure skating with Border Blades, through the use of small group lessons. Skaters will learn to train like a figure skater, working on the fundamentals in skating skills, spins & jumps plus off-ice training! We will continue working through the basic skills levels, as well.
This class is for skaters who want to become figure skaters! Skaters should at least be working on the basic 2 level. This class is not open to skaters who have already passed their USFS pre-preliminary skating skills test.
This class is a great way for our Ruby Blades skaters to work on skating skills, outside of synchro practice.
Please consider signing up for one of our Skating Academy classes if you are not sure your that skater has met the minimum level.
Skaters will be divided into groups, based on level, to work on combining their basic skills with figure skating elements.
***Aspire Skaters will perform as a group, at our Holiday Exhibition on December 8th and will be invited to participate in the Park District Ice Show in March.
