Welcome to the Sharks Ice at San Jose Learn to Skate program. Whether you’re stepping onto the ice for the first time or looking to build on your existing skills, our adult classes offer a fun, supportive, and rewarding way to learn and enjoy the sport of skating.

We offer group skating lessons designed specifically for adults of all experience levels, from beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced skaters looking to improve their technique and confidence on the ice.

Each group lesson includes a 30-minute instructional class followed by 30 minutes of supervised practice time, giving skaters the opportunity to develop their skills and practice what they’ve learned with coach guidance.

Our skating curriculum focuses on building a strong foundation, improving balance and skating technique, and progressing toward more advanced skills at a comfortable pace. Skaters receive a pin upon completion of each level and a certificate of completion for each class.

Skaters progress to the next level based on coach recommendation.

No prior skating experience is necessary for beginner classes! Our goal is to help every adult skater feel comfortable, confident, and excited to continue learning.

Please note that no credits or refunds will be given. Class registration is first come, first served. Once a class reaches capacity, additional registrations cannot be accepted.
