The following is a list of the types of lessons currently offered at Criss Cross.  They are scheduled on and as needed basis and do not have a regular schedule.  If you are interested in any of these lessons please call the rink for times and prices.

Advanced- These lessons are for the skaters that want to step it up a notch, and really see what can be done on a pair of skates.  The techniques in these lessons are things that take time to learn, and are not for the average person who is just going to skate every once in a while.

Advanced Couples- Lessons on couple dance techniques.  These lessons will be taught on a two on two basis.  Our skate instructor will need to bring a partner for these lessons so they will need to be scheduled individually.

 

All of these techniques are things that will take more time to learn than what will be allotted for in the lessons.  All of them can be learned by anyone, it will just take practice.  Private lessons are available for any of these classes if there is free time at the rink.  Please call for availability.
