If you had a car, you could really do it up in the New Jersey area. You could do the adult LTS and off ice stuff at Floyd on Saturdays. Go to Floyd and Codey for lessons and to practice on weekdays. Do Jo Jo's class on Thursdays at Codey. On Sundays, there are adult ice dance classes and a majority adult ice dance session at Katonah (Hickory Hill Figure Skating Club.)
Wow! That could really be an awesome way to do an immersion experience for 4-6 weeks. I'll have to look into the numbers to see if it could work.
I'll keep this thread updated with what I find!
