Junior Program
STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive and sequential manner and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system. Skaters who have mastered figure skating skills in STARSkate may also choose to pursue synchronized skating or pairs skating.
Skills, Tests, Achievement, Recognition – this is what STARSkate is all about!

Dress Code:
Dress Code :
- Dress in layers for warmth (come prepared for different temperatures and change in season)
- Hair should be tied up or / and away from your face
- Skating dresses / skirts and tights are encouraged, especially before test days and competitions
- Leggings may be worn, but must be slim fitting so a skater’s line can be seen (bent or straight knees)
- No hoodies
- Jackets and / or tops should not be baggy as coaches need to see a skater’s line but also for safety as arms and hands can get caught up in the extra material
- Gloves or mitts (heavy mitts are discouraged for higher level skaters as its difficult to show expression)\
