Awards and Recognition
As an incentive for our skaters to progress, strive for perfection and reach goals, our class offers “Star Awards” as they progress through the classes. Each skater learns and progresses at his/her own speed and will progress to the next class after demonstrating the skills necessary to be moved into the next class. For the more serious skater, USAC achievement test awards may be earned in the various skating disciplines (Dance, Figures, and Freestyle). These awards are issued by commissioned judges.
For skaters who wish to compete, skating competitions are held on a local, state, regional, national and world level. You may compete in one or all of the disciplines.
Dance Skating
Compulsory dance steps set on a specific pattern on the floor, skated to various tempos such as Tango, Waltz and Foxtrot. Roller Dance may be skated solo or with a partner.
Figure Skating
School figures such as circle eights are skated on the painted circles on the skating surface where tracing the circle and body posture are important.
Freestyle Skating
Jumps, spins, music interpretation and showmanship. Competitive skaters represent the Skating Plus Artistic Club which has practice sessions throughout the week. A monthly practice fee is necessary to participate.
