Figure skating lessons around west yorkshire?

Question

Hello. I'm 18, male and looking for figure skating lessons about west Yorkshire and possibly over into other side of the border (Manchester etc). Looking for more Group based beginners lessons, but I can skate, and I can dance (more Folk dancing but hey). Any directions to sites for a list of venues that teach or Local Venues that do teach in name is welcome

Answer 1

There's BRADFORD ICE ARENA

19 Little Horton Lane, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD5 OAD

Their skating school link isn't much help, but here it is.  You should call them as the website says it hasn't been updated since 2004!!  Or go to the skating office in person.

Do start from the beginning level, even if you "can" skate - if you've never taken figure skating lessons before.  If it's really too easy for you, you can talk to the instructor and they'll probably move you on . . . just make sure you CAN do all the moves for that level or it may haunt you later.   It's more than just about getting around in skates.  Any dance experience should help (posture, coordination, expression (later on) etc).  

Good luck when you take lessons!!
