When should I get my skates sharpened?

Blades should be sharpened every 20-30 hours of skating.  RTC has a skate sharpening shop on site and is available for all your sharpening needs.  Please come to our Coaches room for help.

Why is skate sharpening important?

Skate sharpening is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, control, and safety on the ice. Properly sharpened skates enhance grip, allowing for precise turns, powerful strides, and stable landings. Dull blades reduce traction, increasing the risk of slips and falls, while inconsistent edges can cause imbalance and hinder technique. Regular sharpening ensures smooth glides, efficient movement, and peak skating performance, whether for recreation, training, or competition.

Why do I need dance choreography ?

Choreography is essential in figure skating because it transforms technical skills into a captivating performance. Here's why it's crucial:
Judging Criteria – In competitions, choreography directly impacts scores by enhancing interpretation, transitions, and overall presentation, aligning with the judging system's artistic requirements.
Storytelling & Expression – It allows skaters to tell a story, express emotions, and connect with the audience, making performances memorable.
Flow & Transitions – Choreography ensures seamless transitions between technical elements, maintaining rhythm and flow for a polished and professional routine.
