What Is Synchronized Skating?
Synchronized skating is the fastest growing and least expensive
form of competitive figure skating. Best described as “Rockettes
on Ice,” a synchronized skating team consists of 8 to 20 members
skating in unison to a choreographed program set to music.
Programs are performed in front of judges during competitions.
Why Join a Skating Team?
Team skating is not just for beginners. Team skaters are required
to improve their singles skating skills in field moves, freestyle
and ice dancing to keep up with the demands of synchronized
skating and USFS requirements. Many advanced figure skaters
and USFS gold medalists participate in synchronized skating.
Team skating provides conditioning and additional skills not
taught in normal figure skating sessions. Skaters improve their
skills, speed, posture, presentation and style.
