The Charlottesville Ice Park uses the Ice Skating Institute Learn To Skate program to move a new skater through the basics and into our figure skating or hockey program.  We focus on the fundamentals in an interesting, enjoyable way.  Our group classes of 12 or fewer are divided by level and age and offer skaters a challenging and rewarding experience.  Whether you are looking to improve your spins or learn to stop, the Charlottesville Ice Park has a class for you.  Classes are offered throughout the year.
