I've mentioned the Wheaton Ice Arena (Wheaton, MD) Ice Dance clinics in past years. I love the way they teach.
The pamphlet lists 4 days of ice dance instruction for intermediate skaters (officially gamma level and up, though silver or so test level ice dancers often show up), with a clear gasp of edges, three-turns, and mohawks). Includes music interpretation, dance patterns, power skating, on and off-ice drills and strength training (Ballet, Cross Country, and Stamina).
Unfortunately, they are splitting the class this year - the "5 and over" group and the "18 and over" group are
both at the same time - Tuesday - Friday July 5 - 8, 2011, 8:15-12:15. I don't know whether they are on the ice at the same time, or whether each is off-ice while the other is on.
it's pricey for 4 hours/day, half of it off-ice, with 15 minute or so breaks between sessions - $180 for all 4 days, or $52/day. "A $20 discount will apply to the second sibling and/or registering for multiple sessions at one time." But if you can afford it, and live near Metropolitan DC, I think it's great.
It says you can sign up at parkpass.org, but I can't find it there, and parkpass.org has always been pretty hard to use. So sign up at the rink.
The instructors, of the Wheaton Skating Academy, Alexei Kiliakov, Elena Novak and Dmytri Ilin are Russian and Ukrainian, with fairly impressive backgrounds - see
www.wisa.us/coaches.html.
When they say Ballet, they mean strength training exercises, in the fashion taught to Russian ice dancers by Ballet and Ballroom dance instructors. Their off-ice training has been interesting and innovative. Past clinics have included Dmytri's hip-hop class, and free dance choreography suggestions from Elena.
