Private Figure Lessons

Arranging Private Lessons

If you’re interested in private lessons, please contact Joanie Malarchuk, Director of Figure Skating, at joanie@renoice.com. You may also observe our professional coaching staff at the rink and speak with them directly to schedule a lesson.

  • Lesson fees are set by each coach and paid directly to them.

  • Admission and/or skate rental fees are separate and must be paid to the rink before entering the ice.

  • Our coaches are independent contractors who schedule their lessons based on availability.

Freestyle Coaching & Guest Coaching

Freestyle sessions are designated for figure skaters to practice advanced skills and routines. If you are unsure if a freestyle session is right for you, please consult with Joanie or your coach.

  • If you wish to coach during freestyles, you must contact joanie@renoice.com to review guest coaching requirements and fees.

  • All skaters must sign in and make payment before stepping onto the ice.

  • A parent or coach must review the freestyle rules with a skater before their first session.

Pricing

Private lesson rates vary based on the instructor’s experience and qualifications. For details, please contact a coach directly or reach out to Joanie.
