Axel Workshop

Axel Workshop is a class dedicated to specific axel technique exercises to help your skater achieve this benchmark jump. The first 30 minutes of the class will meet off the ice from 5-5:30p.m. Off ice jump exercises will be used to develop muscle memory. Skaters will then have 10 minutes to take a break and tie their skates. The second half of the class will be on the ice starting at 5:40 p.m. On ice exercises will include work on back scratch spin, loop position, getting more lift, and spinning faster in the air. For skaters in Free Skate 5 and up.

Holiday Skating Exhibition

Performer registration is $15 per slot. A slot is one piece of music. We will try to accommodate as many skaters who want to perform as possible. If you are doing a duet, trio or small group, then one person should book the $15 slot for the group. Please let us know upon registration who will be in the group (or if there are changes to who is in the group). Music duration should not exceed 2 minutes. Music should be emailed to Christine Hathaway at chathaway@skokieparks.org as we will not be using CD’s or phones. Skaters are responsible for their own solo or group choreography. If you would like to participate but do not have a private instructor, let Skating Director, Christine Hathaway know and she can connect you with someone for your skater to work with to choreograph the solo. All spectators are welcome to watch the Holiday Skating Exhibition in person at the Skatium Ice Arena.
