CanStar is a transition program between CanSkate and StarSkate. It is 45 minutes in length. For the first 15 minutes, skaters take part in a group stroking warm-up session. After this, our club coach, Jennifer, gives them a 15 min group lesson, and then they have 15 minutes of freetime. Their fees cover this 45 minutes
At any point in the season, skaters, in consultation with their coach, may move into the StarSkate program. This is a choice often made when the skater is ready to enter competitions, to develop individual routines for free skating or interpretive programs, or to progress through dance levels.
Equipment:
CSA approved helmets are mandatory until the skater has successfully completed Level 5.
Skaters need to wear figure skates.

StarSkate is a program four decades old all about Skills, Tests, Achievement and Recognition developed by Skate Canada. 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.
The StarSkate program consists of teaching skills inthe following four areas – Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Skate and Interpretive - at Primary, Intermediate and Senior Levels. Skaters are on the ice for 60 to 90 minutes depending on the level. Fees include ice costs and a 15 minute group stroking lesson. Further lessons are negotiated with a coach and may be individual or in a group format. Private lesson costs are paid directly to the coach.
Skaters in the Skate Canada StarSkate Program have the option to remain in the StarSkate Program taking tests (although not mandatory) at organized test sessions and honing learned skills. Skaters may also choose to enter competitions, while still trying Skate Canada tests. Other skaters may choose not to test or compete but to participate for fun and fitness.
For skaters who have progressed through CanSkate and are ready to start figure skating, we offer the CanStar program. Please check this out under "Programs."
