We offer a variety of skating classes for all experience levels.

Learn to Skate.

At Boston Common Skating School, our Learn to Skate program is designed to teach the key lessons and skills needed to improve your skating. Whether you’re new to the ice or a seasoned skater, we’ll help sharpen your focus and provide greater balance on and off the ice.

Tots

This is a class dedicated for beginner skaters, who fall between the ages of 3-5. The class focuses on standing on skates, falling and getting up, as well as marching and pushing. Each class incorporates games, singing, and playgroup activities on the ice.

This class is for skaters 6 years old and up who have learned the basics and would like to develop skills in crossovers, backward skating, tricks for figure skaters and hockey players. The sky is the limit in this class!

Jump and Spin Class

Jump and Spin is the class to launch your inner figure skating self! All students must have strong basic skating skills and would like to grow into learning the basics of jumps and spins. Skaters are required to skate in figure skates for this class so we can help you understand edges and how to use your toe pick.
