If you do learn to do the jumps, which jumps do you learn and which don't you learn in group lessons?

Thanks

  1. If your rink goes with the ISI structure, it probably goes up to(and ends at) the Freestyle 4 level.  Here is a list of what you will learn (and will have to pass) in each level (including the jumps).

    http://www.paradefsc.org/basic/levels.ht...

    Besides bunny hop, or ballet jump (the start), when you get to the particular levels, you'll learn:

    waltz

    half flip

    half toe walley

    half lutz

    salchow

    toe loop

    toe walley

    half loop

    loop

    flip

    And although lutz and axel are technically FS5, it's possible they may get into those jumps after flip - depending on how the class goes (they did that when I was in it anyway).  

    With the USFSA Learn To Skate program, it goes up to Freeskate 6.  You learn basically the same jumps as above, along with falling leaf, split, stag, jump combinations . . . and at FS6 you will learn lutz and starting of axel.  

    http://www.glacierskate.com/content/lts.... (scroll down to freeskate level descriptions).

    A rink will go with one or the other (ISI or USFSA), so find out which skate program they offer!  If anything, you generally only learn all the half and single jumps in group lessons.  

    Hope that helps!
