Learn to Skate Iowa

Welcome to Learn to Skate Iowa

Our classes offer your skater the opportunity to work on developing skills for ice sports from figure skating to ice hockey. Our sessions include a 30 minute group skill lesson followed by 30 minutes of practice time. There are classes available for all ages (3 year olds through adults) and skill levels. Parents may skate with their children during the practice ice part of their session with no additional cost.

All sessions take place at Buccaneer Arena: 7201 Hickman Road, Urbandale, IA 50322.

Each six week session is $100 for first skater, and $75 for each additional skater in the same family. Each session includes 6 classes – either Wednesdays or Saturdays. If you’d like to attend both days, it’s just $175/skater. Full payment is due by the first day of each session. Please sign and pay online by using the registration buttons:
