STARSkate
STARSkate is the next step for higher level CanSkaters who want to continue figure skating.
STARSkate focuses on Skills, Tests, Achievement, and Recognition
The Skate Canada STARSkate program offers opportunities for skaters to develop their figure skating skills with the option of taking Skate Canada Tests and entering competitions. Figure skating skills are taught in group and/or private lesson format in the following areas: Dance, Freeskating, Stroking and Skills. These are tested at the following levels: Preliminary, Jr. Bronze, Sr. Bronze, Jr. Silver, Sr. Silver and Gold.

Junior Level - no test requirements

Senior Level - must have passed Senior Bronze Freeskate
