Intermediate Program

Your skater’s hard work and diligence in the Canskate and Junior programs has prepared them for this next step in the sport of figure skating. They are now part of Skate Canada’s Star Skate program and will focus on all areas of figure skating (free-skate, dance, skills) with a coach in an individual or semi-private lesson. They will be working towards earning Skate Canada tests in these disciplines as well as continuing to showcase their skills at competitions throughout the season.

Preliminary level testing includes elements such as: single jumps, 1 foot spin, camel spin, sit spin and dance. Junior Bronze level testing includes elements such as: single axel, flying camel and beginner double jumps, single combination jumps and combination spins, footwork and dance. Lessons for these skaters depend on the needs of the skater and can either be private or group. All lessons are with a certified Skate Canada Coach. These skaters are working on Preliminary Tests. (maximum of 24 skaters per session). Private coaching is recommended once the skater has reached this level.

Test Days will be scheduled this season to enable skaters in the “StarSkate Program” to be evaluated on Freeskate, Dance, Skills, Interpretive and Competitive Tests. Coaches are informed, in advance, of these scheduled “Test Days” and will communicate with the skaters as to what is being tested. Arrangements are made to have SKATE CANADA Evaluators attend to evaluate the skaters. The test day schedule is yet to be determined, and will be posted at the beginning of the season.
