Special Skater Program

The Tampa Bay Skating Academy is a member of the Ice Skating Institute (ISI). We model our Special Skater Program after this nationally recognized figure skating program. Each class level teaches skills that continually build upon the skills that were achieved in the previous level. It is very important to learn the basic skills so that a skater has a strong foundation to keep progressing forward. A successful completion of each class level may take more than one 5 week session.

Winter 2008   6 and 4 Week Sessions

6 - Week Session Cost: $118.00
4 - Week Session Cost: $79.00
