Ilia and Katia at Kulik's Skating

[Willowway]

Kulik's Skating, Ilia's new training rink in Lake Forest, CA is open. It has been in the works for a while - building renovations and all that - but it's up, running and he's happy working on his own ice.  You can read about the philosophy and the program that he has created on the new website   www.kuliksskating.com  Katia is of course a partner in the team! She is specializing in the Learn to Skate group - can you imagine learning to stroke from Katia Gordeeva or your first waltz jump from Ilia Kulik? He has been talking about this for several years, it really is his dream come to life.

$30 per 15 minutes for a private lesson with Ilia or Katia?

EDIT: Oops, I forgot -- my coach before used to charge $60 per hour, while Ilia and Katia are charging $120 per hour -- which, if I'm not wrong, is a good price, but not cheap.
