The Skating Academy offers classes across nine campuses including Boston’s iconic Boston Common Frog Pond and at the all-new Norwood skating facility. Other locations include Boston/Newton area, Boston’s North End, Brookline, Dedham, Fenway, Somerville and West Roxbury.

The Skating Academy teaches both figure and hockey-style skating focusing on the correct techniques and benefits of physical fitness.

In addition, The Skating Academy features professional coaches some of whom are former Olympic athletes.

“As a former Team USA member, Olympian and a current coaching professional, one of my greatest joys is teaching the next generation of skaters the proper fundamentals. There is no better place to learn how to skate than The Skating Academy,” said Simon Shnapir, a coach at The Skating Academy and 2014 Olympian.
