Adult Figure Skating Academy
Whether your goal is to learn the Tango Romantica, land an axel, or glide across the ice with grace, you will find the inspiring setting of Central Park coupled with our committed coaches and the camaraderie of your fellow skating enthusiasts, the ideal recipe to reaching your skating dreams. Clinics in basic skating, ice dance, figure skating footwork, freestyle, and partnering are offered four times weekly throughout the winter skating season. All freestyle and public skating sessions are included.

Tuesday 7:30am
Thursday 7:30am  
Saturday 7:30am

It's a little early, but skating before work is invigorating, right?


The website also lists two Youth synchro teams (low- and high-level), but I think HelenC is on their adult team.
It's not listed on the website currently, so you'd have to contact the Director for more information.
