Skating clinics

Skills clinics may have a theme,

but do not follow a rigid lesson plan.

They are a more "democratic" class.

Students help decide what skills the group will work on (along with the instructor). Then the instructor teaches the skill and gives feedback to each

student as he/she works on mastering it.

Several different skills are covered at each clinic.
