ASPIRE Advanced Skills PROGRAM
Our Features
Colonial's Aspire Advanced Skills program is the next step after learn to skate classes. Instruction is comprised of a variety of progressive skating skills, including transitions, spins and jumps, all of which build on previous skills, providing skaters’ a strong foundation of all elements. Instruction will follow the Pre-Free Skate to Free Skate 6 curriculum with supplemental exercises to support skater growth. Within this positive and interactive group format, skaters will also be introduced to some of our other skating programs like synchronized skating, theater on ice and artistry in motion.

MEET OUR ASPIRE DIRECTOR: DANIELLE DAVID
Danielle David’s passion is sharing the magic of figure skating with every skater. Having experienced firsthand the joy and wonder this sport brings, she is dedicated to creating that same sense of excitement and accomplishment for everyone who steps onto the ice.​
​
Danielle deeply believes that figure skating should be welcoming and inclusive. That’s why Aspire is designed as a fantastic introductory program that embraces all aspects of skating—from competitive pathways and skill testing to team participation and recreational fun.​
Starting her own skating journey a bit later than most—beginning learn-to-skate lessons at age 10 and private coaching shortly after—Danielle understands that every skater’s path is unique. Whether you dream of gliding on the ice five days a week or prefer a more casual pace, Aspire offers opportunities for all levels and ambitions.​
With coaching experience since 2000, Danielle brings expertise as a United States Figure Skating Accredited Senior Coach specializing in Skating Skills and Singles. She also graduated Cum Laude from Boston University and balances her role as Aspire Director with being a Colonial FSC Professional and a dedicated travel agent.​
Danielle warmly invites you to join the Aspire family, where your skating journey is celebrated every step of the way.
