Figure skating is both an art and a sport. It helps develop mental and physical self-discipline, good sportsmanship, and an appreciation of music and movement. The purpose of Timberline Figure Skating Club is to provide opportunities for those interested in learning to figure skate through a structured program with strong professional instruction.
Programs Offered by Timberline
Learn to Skate:
Private Lessons:
It is up to the skater and the parent to contact a coach directly to inquire about private lessons and fees. When you hire a coach, the agreement is made between the skater, the parent, and the coach. Coach rates vary depending on their experience and levels tested. A list of coaches can be found under the coaches page here.
Once your skater starts working with a coach, competing and testing are excellent ways to challenge your skater and improve their skills. There are competitions that offer opportunities for any level of skater, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your child. Test sessions are held at various times throughout the year, and skaters may test in several categories: Moves in the Field, Free Skate, Pattern Dance or Solo Pattern Dance, Free Dance or Solo Free Dance, and Pairs. For a list of camps, test sessions, and competitions in the area click here.
