Learning to skate at the Ashburn Ice House is actually quite easy and fun.
It requires a little determination, a lot of practice and no fear of falling down!
Before you know it, you will be gliding around -- forward and backwards -- able to show off to your family and friends what you can do on the ice. Whether your goal is to learn to skate backwards, land a Salchow, spin really fast, improve your hockey skating skills, do a graceful arabesque or even a triple Axel, we've got just the place for you to start!
Remember, every champion had to begin with a few easy lessons...just like you.
The Ashburn Ice House follows the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program. The U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program is used in more than 800 facilities across the nation.

What to expect?
Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your skating lessons:
1. Listen attentively. Try the skill, try it again, ask a question if you don't understand, and try it again. Your instructor should be able to show you the skill, break it down into easy steps, and offer a few suggestions for quick mastery.
2. Be a courteous skater, watch where you are going, and always skate in control.
3. Be prepared for your lesson with the correct fitting skates, warm attire and gloves or mittens.
4. Be on time! Arrive at least 15 minutes before class time.
5. Relax, smile, and have fun!
