Programs

CanSkate is a learn to skate program for skaters of all ages.

CanSkate Hockey will follow the same stages as the regular CanSkate program but will emphasize skating skills that are important for playing Hockey or Ringette. If the skater is currently playing Hockey or Ringette full gear is encouraged although no sticks will be permitted.

STARSkate is a program designed for skaters to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating after completing the CanSkate program.

Synchro or Synchronized Skating, is a team sport involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The Synchro program is excellent for any StarSkate level skater, looking to compete with peers in a team event in an encouraging atmosphere. The Tara team skates at the beginner level and has won at several competitions in the past and is always looking for new members.
