Adult Seminar

June 14-18, 2010
Mariposa School of Skating invites Adult Skaters to attend our Seminar June
14-18, 2010.# The on ice components of this program focus on free style, dance,
edges, stroking, turns and artistic.# Off Ice components will include yoga,
dance, conditioning and motivational lectures.# The hours of the seminar will be
between 9am & 5pm tentatively (exact schedule TBD).
You haven't lived until you've experienced a motivational lecture from Doug
Leigh. I don't know anything about the adult specific nature of this camp, but
have been to the seminar week several times. Many of the videos on
http://www.mysk8coach.com/ are from the seminar weeks if you want an idea of
what the ice sessions look like.

Wheaton Ice Arena
(http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/ice/wheaton/index.shtm) has several
week long summer camps.
The Week in the Park Camps
(http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/ice/wheaton/documents/brochure2010WeekinthePark.pdf)
are for for ages 6-12, starting on dates from 6/28/10 to 8/16/10.
The Figure Skating Camp
(http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/ice/wheaton/documents/brochure2010Figure.pdf)
for ages 7 and up starts 8/9/10.
The Ice Dance Clinic
(http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/ice/wheaton/documents/brochure2010Dance.pdf)
has one session for ages 18 and up, starting 6/28/10 (and you can take less than
the week), and another for ages 5 and up, starting 8/16/10.
The Hockey Camps
(http://www.montgomeryparks.org/enterprise/ice/wheaton/documents/brochure2010SummerHockeyCamp.pdf)
for ages 6-12, starting 7/29/10.
:bow:
Most of the other DC metro area Ice rinks (http://mgrunes.com/dcicerinks.html)
that are open in the summer have camps too.
:bow:
It is the Ice Dance Clinic I want to make sure continues. They have borderline
level attendence. I described this clinics in these threads last year:
http://skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=29059&highlight=wheaton+dance+week
http://skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=28373&highlight=wheaton+dance+week
I love the way they teach.
One of the instructors was a Russian National Champion, and the rest, also from
Eastern Bloc, have almost as impressive records (see
http://www.wisa.us/coaches). The Clinic includes on and off ice training, from 8
AM to 11:45 AM, with two 15 minute breaks.
They do not list skating level, but it is probably safe to say you head better
be able to skate inside and outside edges, on both feet, both forwards and
backwards. If it matches the last time I took it, there are various drills at
various levels, some at levels almost no one can do (e.g. skating complicated
figures on power pulls).
They have focused on power, edges, and body positions, but not partnering.
Off ice they have focused on strength and flexibility training they partly
learned from Russian style ballet and ballroom dance instructors.

Twin Oaks Rink in Morristown, NJ is offering a Tuesday afternoon drop-in trial
class with none other than JoJo Starbuck.
http://www.recordernewspapers.com/articles/2010/08/09/madison_eagle/sports/doc4c5aa9cb8e57f691175405.txt
Forecast for Tuesdays ice-cold with Starbuck’s skating classes
Published: Aug 6th, 7:09 AM
The public is invited to join Olympic figure skater JoJo Starbuck of Madison
from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. every Tuesday, now through Aug. 18, at the Twin Oaks Ice
Skating Rink at 65 Columbia Road in Morristown for a refreshing one-hour skating
class for adult recreational beginners and their children. The rink’s phone
number is (973) 292-5699.
Children will have their own class, on another part of the ice, with former
National Hockey League (NHL) great Randy Velischek.
If a child wants to skate and the parent does not, the child may take the class
with Velischek.
And, in keeping with the spontaneity of summer, patrons decide how many lessons
they want to take, from one class, to all the weekly classes through Aug. 18.
Patrons are asked to inform Starbuck about their attendance the night before
each lesson day via e-mail to pnielsen@twinoaksicerink.com
(pnielsen@twinoaksicerink.com).
Each class is $25 per skater. If a parent brings a child to skate too, the cost
is reduced to $20 per family member on the ice.
Starbuck invites the public to strap on their skates and take a break from their
summer routines. Patrons must bring their own skates, as Twin Oaks does not
provide rentals. Hockey and figure skates are welcome.
The lack of rentals is a real drawback, but the pro shop at Mennan Arena has
some resales that are affordable for beginners, as well as new skates.
Full disclosure: I received this (unsolicited) via Yahoo! Alerts, but
coincidentally, a friend of mine is part-owner of the facility. I've never been
there, but I understand it's a converted tennis facility. The group lesson
program is neither ISI nor USFSA, it is a USA Hockey curriculum geared towards
Learn to Play.
I'm thrilled to see LTS classes because the rink started out as a hockey-only
facility. They don't have public or freestyle sessions, afaik, so this is a step
in the right direction towards building patronage and programs. Most non-hockey
skaters don't even know the rink exists.
