                CanSkate Stage 1:

                 

                Once your child completes Pre-CanSkate, they will progress to Stage 1. In this stage, they will be introduced to fundamental skating skills that serve as the foundation for their continued development. These basic skills will be the building blocks for their future success in skating, ensuring they have a solid groundwork to build upon as they advance. 😊⛸️
