Brownbody's Learn to Skate Program

Due to OVERWHELMING response, registration for Fall 2024 LEARN TO SKATE is closed.

We anticipate admitting a small number of additional skaters as capacity allows. If you are interested in joining our Wait List, please complete the form below. We will reach out via email if space is available.

FALL  DATES: September 28 – November 16 (No Lesson Nov 9)
This is a 7-week program that teaches basic skating skills. Skaters should plan to participate in all lessons. The skills taught for this session are cumulative and missed lessons may impact the progression of the participant.

LOCATION: Highland Ice Arena (St. Paul)

LESSON TIMES: 10 – 11:20 am, 10:45- 12:05 pm, 11:30-12:50 pm
(
Note: Your exact lesson time will be assigned by September 26)

AGE: Our lessons are open to everyone ages 4+ from Black and Brown communities, including adults, regardless of previous skating experience.

EQUIPMENT: Complimentary Skates and Helmets are available to borrow. We encourage you to bring your own if you have them. If you’re interested in purchasing skates, we recommend Strauss Skates – see information in right sidebar.

SCALED PAYMENT STRUCTURE
As our Learn to Skate program continues to grow due to high demand and interest, we are working to make the program sustainable so that we may offer it for years to come. In this spirit, we offer a scaled pay structure for lessons.

Full cost of lessons is $106; half price is $53. And, as always, we remain committed to removing financial barriers to participation so scholarships are available for those that require a no-fee Learn to Skate experience. We simply ask that you send us an email (lts@brownbody.org) to alert us to this request.
