Question
hi, my name is julia. I am 12 years old and love figure skating. I was talking
to my mom and she said I was to old to start and I was wonderin if I was to
old to start. also, I was wondering how many hours and says I would take
private lessons?
HI Julia:
I have coached skaters of all ages with many starting as full grown adults so one can learn to figure skate at just about any age. The best way to begin is to take some group lessons and learn the basic skills. From there you can see if you really want to persue the more advanced levels with private lessons.
Good luck,
Bruce
