The Next Step in Your Skating Journey
Fire ‘n’ Ice Figure Skating Academies provide a clear developmental pathway for skaters who are ready to progress beyond Learn to Skate and pursue more advanced recreational, performance, testing, or competitive goals.
Our three academy levels—Aspire, Excel, and Elite—combine focused on-ice instruction with structured off-ice training. Skaters develop stronger technique, greater confidence, improved athleticism, and the skills needed to continue advancing in the sport.
Every academy includes both on-ice and off-ice instruction.
Aspire. Excel. Elite.

Based on the U.S. Figure Skating Aspire Program, Aspire Academy helps skaters build strong foundations in skating skills, spins, jumps, artistry, and overall athletic development within a fun, encouraging, and supportive environment.
Through structured on-ice instruction and dedicated off-ice training, skaters will improve balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, jump technique, confidence, and overall skating quality.
Aspire Academy also prepares skaters for future participation in testing, performances, competitions, and more advanced figure skating programs.
