About skating lessons
Rinks that teach usually start with group learn-to-skate classes, sorted by age and level. Classes cover falling and getting up safely, gliding, stopping and turning. Many rinks also offer private lessons with a coach. On ice, classes often lead on to hockey or figure skating; roller rinks teach the same basics on quad or inline skates.
