​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A private lesson is a great way to get additional coaching on the skills that you are learning in our group lessons. It is also for individuals who want to commit to mastering figure skating skills, or pursue competitive figure skating. 

Private lessons are one-on-one instruction. We only allow one student at a time with a private instructor. Private lessons are held during public ice skating sessions and freestyle sessions for high-level figure skaters. Be sure to check our most up-to-date schedules for public ice skating and freestyle sessions. Private lessons can not be accommodated outside of these times.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Submit a private lesson request

  • To submit a private lesson request with an instructor, please visit the Lesson Office

  • Select as many days and times that you are available. The more availability you have the more likely we are able to match you with a coach's availability. We will follow up with you in three to four weeks (minimum) to confirm a scheduled time or inquire more about your availability
  • After you have had your first private lesson with a coach, scheduling future private lessons will then be between you and the coach. 
  • If after your first private lesson with a coach, you would like to try a different coach, please contact lessons@fairfaxicearena.com.​​

PLEASE NOTE: Availabilities are limited. Our instructors may already have full schedules, especially during our peak season in the fall, winter through early spring months, during a Winter Olympic season, and months leading up to competition season and our annual I.S.I. Competition in May.
