Learn-to-Skate

All of our Learn to Skate classes take place at the Burbank Ice Arena, 51 Symonds Way, Reading, Massachusetts.

Our Learn-to-Skate Program is available to children (ages 4 & up), teens and adults. We offer classes and practice sessions for the basic beginner through basic free skate levels as well as hockey skating skills.

Our classes are taught by professional coaches and run in 8 – 12 week sessions throughout the year. We also offer the opportunity for skaters to compete at our Annual Compete USA Competition and perform in our Annual Ice Spectacular.
