skating for recreation and exercise. Skaters are divided

skills in a group format. Ages 16+

Adult Learn to Dance
Program
For adults with some basic skating ability (e.g. forward edges

Adult Social Dance Program
For adults with some knowledge of the Skate Canada dances (Dutch
Waltz, Canasta Tango, etc.), this program provides the change to
just ice dance for fun. Music is played for the
Preliminary through Gold dances and you can skate with or
without a partner. Don't worry if you only know a few of
the dances -- this is a great way to learn additional dances in
a relaxed environment! Skaters registered in this program
may also arrange for some private dance lessons on this session
if they wish, however the focus of the program is on
recreational social dancing.

This ice time is unstructured and is suitable for individual
practice and private lessons. There are no pre-requisites
for skating on Day Ice, however please note that these sessions
are open to all club members, from very young children to senior

beginning adults may find this environment a little intimidating
at first. Please contact the KWSC office for more
information on Day Ice.

Adult Synchronized Skating
Synchronized skating is a great way to meet new people and compete
as part of a team. The adult festival synchro team, the
KW Krystals on Ice, usually does two competitions per year.
No previous synchro experience is required, however skaters should
be comfortable with forward and backward crosscuts, three turns,
and mohawks. The team coach will assess each skater's level at the
first practice of the season.
There is also a competitive adult team (NEXXICE). See their website
for more information.
See our Synchronized Skating
page for more information.
