My 4.5 yr daughter started skating this year. She has progressed amazingly. The teachers are wonderful. Miss Nicole has tons of patience but at the same time is nonsense. During each lesson you could see the kids confidence building. The class is longer other schools and there are enough teacher assistants that each chlld gets the individual attention she/he needs. The final show is not the main focus and seems to be a low key event. We will be back next year.
