This program is designed to accelerate the learning process through the basic foundation skills and prepare the skater to start to enter into the Skate Canada Starskate figure skating program. Recreational program skaters showing natural coordination, a keen interest in skating, and having progressed well through the recreational programs are identified, recommended and invited into the program by our professional coaching staff.

The accelerated program is offered as a two, three or four day a week program. It is approximately 45 minutes in length each day. The session would be similar to the group environment offered in the recreational programs. The student/coach ratio would be approximately 5 or 6 skaters to one professional coach. After a year in this program, skaters would then move into our Pre-Preliminary Starskate program.
Skaters must be recommended by a professional coach for this program and would receive a letter of invitation to register.

Skaters may also wish to consider one-on-one private instruction with a professional coach to enhance their progression.

Synchronized skating is a specialized branch of skating distinct from the other figure skating disciplines. It generally involves a group of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. “Synchronized” refers to the importance of unison, the accuracy of the formations and the synchronization of the team.  The objective of synchronized skating is to have skaters performing as one as opposed to a group of soloists. The difficulty level of these maneuvers is enhanced by step sequences, free skating moves, holds and transitions incorporated into or between each of these maneuvers during the program. 

The synchronized program runs from September to March.   Skaters can expect to practice 1 to 2 times a week.   For a team to be eligible to compete at a synchronized skating event, requirements such as the number of skaters on the team and the prescribed percentage of team members meeting the specified age criteria must be met.  Teams will compete in 1 to 2 competitions a season.  The competitions take place between December and March.
