CanSkate Stage 2:
Once your child completes Stage 1, they will advance to Stage 2. In this stage, they will focus on solidifying the fundamental skills, building upon their ability to achieve adequate speed and flow. The emphasis will be on refining these basic techniques to ensure a strong foundation for further development and progression in their skating journey. 😊⛸️✨
