Well I go to the world ice arena in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens,New York. There are group lessons, and this Saturday would be the 4th class out of I think 6 or 7. You have to wait until all of the classes are over until next session. Here's a website: www.worldice.com 13 year old Figure Skater ISI Beta--
New York City's a big place, so you have to find the rink that's convenient
I'd recommend:
Brooklyn: Aviator Sports / Queens: World Ice Arena / Staten Island: SI Skating Pavilion
Bronx: Kelton Ice Arena / Manhattan: Wollman or Lasker rinks
There are also rinks in the areas surrounding NYC, like New Jersey, Nassau/Suffolk, and Westchester/Yonkers that might be convenient. I love the Rye Beach rink, but it's out of the way.
http://www.arenamaps.com can help you locate rinks and find their website, address, and telephone number for more information.
Each rink has a group lesson program, usually called "Learn to Skate" that's offered on different days. Check the rink's website or call them directly to ask for their schedule.
Most group lessons are given once a week for a 1/2 hour.
Some include a short practice session or public skating pass. Other rinks - you're on your own.
You have to change your schedule to fit in the lesson plus at least an hour of practice weekly.
Most skating schools group the students by level and age, but if you're the only adult, you could end up learning with teenagers. You might get lucky and the school will assign an instructor to you, like having a private lesson, in the hopes that other adults will sign up.
If none of the rinks' group lessons fit your schedule, take a 15 minute private lesson once a week and then practice on your own. The cost and learning curve will be around the same since one-on-one lessons are more challenging.
Since you're an adult and your foot's no longer growing, get good skates with strong support.
Paragon is a good place to go, or the rink's pro shop. Stay away from Modell's and other sporting goods places. http://www.arenamaps.com
Best thing to do is to go with a friend ice skating is real easy much easier than rollor skating and you can actually run in ice skates i suggest going with someone you know will pressure you to not hang on to the side and the rest can be self taught or if you think you need it hire a coach Personal life experience

ReplyDeleteWhen you start directing traffic like a football coach is when you should realize the energy drink has kicked in.
