Figure Skating Lessons

Lessons are a great option for skaters ready to switch from public skating to freestyle and for advanced skaters ready to enjoy freestyle with or without lessons.

Figure skating lessons are available year-round, 6 days a week. We can customize a program to fit your skill level, strengths and areas that need improvement.

Open Freestyle

Daytona Ice Arena offers multiple open freestyle ice sessions every week, all year round.

Open to all figure skaters and coaches, this ice provides an opportunity to practice skating skills, run through programs or schedule private lessons at numerous times each week.

Drop In Rate: $18.00

*Every coach must have their coaching insurance on file with Daytona Ice Arena. At the beginning of every open freestyle session, each skater will sign in and pay for Freestyle and/or Private Lesson at the front desk prior to going on the ice. If you are a visiting coach, please bring a copy of your insurance with you or email it to our Skating Director Debbie Stephens-Odgers.
