My daughter attended a birthday party today from 12-3pm. My daughter had a blast today with you today and while she has been hesitant to take lessons in the past she had so much fun with you today that she was asking if you taught any of the group skate classes as she would love to have you as her teacher!

Thank you for helping us celebrate our daughters birthday - it was so memorable and stress free! Everyone from the scheduling to the host was great - it was all better than we expected!

The party captain was attentive, easy to work with and provided an excellent lesson. My child had no experience skating before her party and left feeling confident on the ice.
