About Our Roller Skating Classes in Toronto
Learn to Roller Skate Lessons - Tots Ages 3-5
Our Tots Learn to Roller Skate classes for ages 3–5 is designed to introduce young children to roller skating in a fun, gentle, and encouraging environment. At this age, the focus is on helping little skaters feel comfortable wearing roller skates, learning basic balance, and developing coordination through simple movements and games. Our coaches use positive encouragement and age-appropriate activities to keep children engaged while building confidence on wheels. Every child learns at their own pace, and we make sure each lesson feels exciting, safe, and rewarding.
For our youngest skaters, we understand that patience and support are essential. Coaches work closely with each child to teach beginner skating skills such as standing safely, marching on skates, small glides, and learning how to fall and get back up properly. Classes are filled with fun activities that improve balance, listening skills, and body awareness while helping children become more independent and confident. Our goal is to create a positive first skating experience that builds excitement for learning and being active.
Learn to Roller Skate Lessons - Children Ages 6-12
Our Learn to Roller Skate program for children ages 6–12 focuses on building strong skating fundamentals while helping skaters gain confidence and improve their skills. Beginners learn how to balance properly, glide smoothly, stop safely, and move confidently around the rink. Coaches break skills down step-by-step so every skater feels supported and successful throughout the learning process. We combine structured instruction with fun drills and games that keep children motivated while helping them improve naturally.
As skaters progress, children ages 6–12 begin learning more advanced beginner techniques such as turning, controlled strides, speed control, and skating patterns. Our classes encourage teamwork, fitness, and perseverance while creating a welcoming environment where children can make friends and enjoy skating together. Whether a child is brand new to roller skating or looking to improve their confidence, our instructors help every skater reach their goals while making learning enjoyable and exciting.
Learn to Roller Skate Lessons - Adults 18+
Our Adult Learn to Roller Skate classes for ages 18+ is designed for adult beginners who want to learn in a supportive, comfortable, and judgment-free environment. Many adults are trying roller skating for the first time, while others are returning to skating after many years away from the rink. Our coaches focus on helping adult skaters build confidence, improve balance, and develop safe skating techniques at a pace that feels comfortable for them. Classes are welcoming, encouraging, and tailored to help adults feel relaxed while learning something new.
Adult roller skaters are taught essential skills including proper posture, balance control, forward skating, stopping techniques, turning, and safe movement around the rink. As confidence grows, skaters continue improving coordination, endurance, and overall skating ability through guided practice and structured instruction. Beyond learning how to skate, our adult classes offer a fun way to stay active, reduce stress, meet new people, and enjoy the excitement of roller skating in a positive community atmosphere.
Our Intermediate Roller Figure Skating program for ages 10–15 is designed for skaters who already have basic roller skating experience and are ready to take their skills to the next level. This program focuses on developing strong figure skating technique, confidence, discipline, and performance ability in a structured and challenging environment. Skaters work on advanced skating fundamentals including edge control, field movements, artistic presentation, turns, transitions, and overall skating quality while continuing to strengthen balance, power, and control. Participants are introduced to formation skating, where they learn teamwork, timing, synchronization, and group choreography while skating together as part of a team environment.
Our Senior Roller Figure Skating program at Glittering Stars Professional Figure Skating School is designed for dedicated skaters ages 12–17 who are ready to fully immerse themselves in advanced artistic roller figure skating training and leadership development. Created specifically for secondary school students, this elite-level program provides skaters with the opportunity to progress through the Roller Figure Skating Star Levels from Star 1 through Star 5 while developing strong technical ability, performance skills, discipline, and confidence. Skaters train in a structured and supportive environment where they refine all major figure skating elements including spins, jumps, field movements, edge work, footwork patterns, choreography, and artistic interpretation. A key requirement of the program is that all skaters are actively working toward completing their Star 5 figure skating test, demonstrating consistent progression and achievement through each level of the Star system as part of their long-term development.
In addition to technical skating development, participants in the Senior Roller Figure Skating program at Glittering Stars Professional Figure Skating School are involved in a variety of leadership and mentorship opportunities. Senior skaters assist with coaching and beginner instruction, allowing them to gain valuable teaching experience while earning money through coaching responsibilities within the program. Skaters also complete community service hours through their involvement at the rink, helping younger skaters, assisting during events, and supporting program activities. These experiences help students build responsibility, communication skills, leadership qualities, and confidence both on and off the rink floor.
The Senior Program also places a strong emphasis on athletic development, conditioning, and performance preparation. Skaters participate in off-ice conditioning and training designed to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and overall skating performance. Throughout the season, skaters take part in solos, performances, showcases, and group productions that allow them to develop artistry, stage presence, and performance confidence. Participants commit to one full weekend training day each week, training for up to 10 hours on either Saturday or Sunday in a focused and professional training environment. At Glittering Stars Professional Figure Skating School, skaters are encouraged to pursue excellence while developing the skills, discipline, and leadership needed to succeed both in skating and beyond.
