From Craigslist: Pittsburgh adult instruction wanted
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/act/2560204902.html

My friend and I are both 29 year old women looking to take figure skating classes in Pittsburgh. It seems the only classes that we can find through online searches in Pittsburgh are for kids, except we did find a listing for an ages 2-adult class way out in Canonsburg.

Does anyone have any inside information of who to contact, where to look, etc.? Or maybe for a similar type of adult skating class/group skills thing?

This is an intriguing post from Craigslist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/ret/2610076975.html

Figure or Ice Hockey Skaters - P/T Retail Sales (Union Square)

New York's best specialty sporting goods store is seeking several unique individuals to be part of our Skating sales team. We are seeking individuals who love to get out on the ice and play hockey or do figure skating. You will be extra competitive for one of these positions if you have previous retail sales experience and/or knowledge of how to operate a skate sharpening machine. We are not seeking skate boarders at this time. You should be up to date on the latest equipment - brands, fit characteristics, etc. and have a good sense of what you would offer a novice as opposed to an expert player. You should be comfortable in working closely with your customer to get the proper fit for the equipment they purchase.

You must be fit, well groomed, well spoken and able to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times.

This is a permanent part time position, 25 to 30 hours per week. The weekend days will be an important part of your schedule, along with a 4 to 6 hour shift on one of more week days. We offer a full range of benefits, including a generous associate discount.

Mod note: See link for more info.


Sounds like Paragon Sports to me - Union Square, specialty sports retailer.  Could be a good job for an NYU student.
