STARSkate Off-Ice Classes

SMSC offers a number of off-ice classes that supplement and enhance on-ice learning. Each class has been specifically designed for the specialized needs of figure skaters.

When designing our schedule, we coordinate our off-ice classed with our on-ice sessions, to allow our skaters to benefit from the learning opportunities offered by our experienced off-ice instructors.

Fitness with Rachel

Rachel Cates is a fitness professional working in the industry for the past 25 years. She has been running programs for competitive athletes specializing in off-ice for over 15 years. Rachel has a Bachelors Degree in Physical Education and has managed several fitness centers and taught many early childhood fitness programs. She is a Canfitpro certified personal trainer and a former instructor of the canfitpro personal training course at Georgian College. This course includes training in anatomy, physiology, injury prevention, and nutrition.

Being a former competitive gymnast has helped Rachel to design programs that will improve athletic performance by developing core strength, flexibility, endurance and balance.

This class combines deep core strengthening with stretching, coordination, control, and balance to help the athlete improve in all aspects of their skating.

The key to injury prevention is proper strengthening and stretching of the muscles associated with on-ice training. Core Balance includes proper strengthening of the core and balance techniques specific to figure skaters as well as a 10 minute full body stretch at the end of each session. This combination of strength training, stretching, and balance will lead to improved posture both on and off ice.

Skaters will need to have an exercise mat with them for this class.

Dance with Katie

Katie Bromley has been dancing and performing for over 30 years, studying in the styles of tap, jazz, musical theatre, lyrical / contemporary, hip hop and acro. She graduated the Musical Theatre Program at Sheridan College with honours, training under many incredible teachers and choreographers. She had leading roles in shows such as "Once Upon A Mattress," "The Drowsy Chaperone" and was Dance Captain / ensemble for "The Most Happy Fella."  She competed in dance competitions, winning overall awards for her Musical Theatre Solos, top duet / trio awards for tap in both Toronto and Chicago, and received many special awards praising her stage presence and joy. She danced as part of the Blue Jays J-Crew (now the J-Force) performing in home openers and during home games.

For over 15 years, Katie's true passion has been teaching and spreading the joy of movement and dance to all ages and abilities. She believes that it is important to strive for the best and conquer goals while maintaining passion and gratification in what you are doing.  Katie is thrilled to be instructing the Full Season of off-ice training for you.
 
Using the quality of movement from Ballet, Jazz and Contemporary, students will explore how to use their bodies for better musicality, body strength, flexibility and dance expression.
 

Wear form fitting clothes suitable for movement e.g. tights, leggings, leotards, tank tops. Dance shoes such as ballet or jazz shoes are preferred OR bare feet on hard floors/socks for carpet.

Dance with Effie

Friday dance sessions will feature a wide variety of dance genres and musical styles, where skaters will develop and build on coordination, rhythm, expression of movement, artistry, and learn how to carry emotion and musicality into their skating.

Effie has been a high-performance gymnast for the past 17 years, with experience in floor choreography and conducting dance classes in a wide range of styles.
