EDGE Off-Ice Figure Skating Program
Elevate - Develop - Gain - Excel
About The EDGE off-Ice Program​
The EDGE Off-Ice Program (Elevate • Develop • Gain • Excel) is designed to help figure skaters build the strength, flexibility, artistry, and mental focus they need to excel on the ice. Skaters train in a structured, 2-hour class that blends conditioning, dance-based movement, balance training, and mindfulness techniques. This holistic approach supports technical precision, performance quality, and injury prevention, all while complementing their on-ice training.
Expert Instructors​
Our instructors bring a unique blend of professional dance training and athletic conditioning experience to the program. With backgrounds in ballet, contemporary dance, and performance coaching, they understand the specific needs of figure skaters—from perfecting posture and lines to developing explosive power for jumps. Each instructor is committed to helping athletes improve not just their physical abilities but also their artistic expression and confidence.
Why It’s Essential for Figure Skaters
-
Stronger Jumps & Spins: Focused strength and core conditioning improve height, rotation speed, and landing stability.
-
Improved Flexibility & Lines: Dance-based stretching and mobility training enhance body lines for spirals, laybacks, and Biellmann positions.
-
Better Balance & Body Awareness: Off-ice jump drills and edge simulations create muscle memory that transfers directly to the ice.
-
Artistic Expression: Choreography and performance exercises help skaters develop their presentation and musical interpretation.
-
Mental Edge: Visualization, breathing exercises, and confidence training prepare athletes to perform under pressure.
