Under the Instruction of Jane Summersett
JANUARY * FEBRUARY * MARCH 2011
1.5 hour monthly clinics * group class format * sessions divided by skill level
Improve your overall skating quality by learning how to develop the skills that are required to Skate with Style. Every level of skater, from beginner to advanced and recreational to competitive, can benefit by participating in this series. As a 3-time World Team Alternate, Jane has trained under and with multiple Olympians and looks forward to sharing her training experience and knowledge.
