YOUR FIRST CLASS:
Make sure that your skater is dressed warmly. Don’t forget to bring gloves or mittens. All protective gear (i.e. helmets, knee pads, etc.) is optional . Please arrive early. Lane assignments will be posted at the entrances to the ice and at the Box Office. These charts will let you know where you need to go and also who your instructor will be. Skates should be snugly fit and be tied tightly. If you have any questions about fitting skates, please feel free to ask for assistance.
PRACTICE SESSIONS:
A free public session is included on the day of your class. Skating school students are required to check in at the Box Office to receive a wristband prior to getting on the ice. The public session is held before class on Wednesdays and Fridays, and after class on Saturdays. Skaters can utilize these sessions to practice their skills from class, take private lessons, or skate with friends and family. Anyone not enrolled in skating school is welcome to skate on public sessions for $20 admission plus $5 skate rental fee.
MAKE-UP CLASSES:
Skating School makeup tokens are automatically created when a student is marked absent during their regularly scheduled class. So while appreciated, there is no need to let us know ahead of time that a student will be missing class. The skater can makeup as many classes as missed, schedule permitting. You can check on the status of your makeup tokens and schedule makeup classes up to 14 days out from your customer portal, here! Makeup tokens expire 30 days from the missed class, cannot be transferred to siblings or for credit, and must be used while the skater is actively enrolled. If you have any questions, please email Emma@avicepalace.com for assistance.
SKATING SCHOOL CANCELLATION POLICY:
We understand that cancellation is sometimes necessary. If you would like to change your class enrollment day or discuss other arrangements please contact Emma, emma@avicepalace.com.
A cancellation form can be filled out online under the "Skating School" tab. Please submit a cancellation form within 30 days before the skater’s last lesson. Cancellation of your enrollment will lead to forfeiture of unused make up classes.
