Starting Sunday, Jan. 10, the Skating Academy at Ice Station Valencia will begin offering two classes geared toward the beginner level that can just stand up, and those who want to sharpen their basic skills.

The 1:30 pm class will be for ages 5 to 11. The 2:00 pm class will be for ages 12 and up. Both classes will feature the same basic principles of skating, including basic skating and gliding, forward swizzles, and balancing on one foot.

The classes are held once a week for 30 minutes, and are taught by Ice Station Valencia’s staff coaches. The cost for the 10-week semester is $150, plus a one time registration fee of $30. So make that New Year’s resolution to learn to skate. Registration is now open for the classes. More information can be obtained by calling Ice Station Valencia at 661-775-8686 ext. 206
