Aspire to Be a Figure Skater!

Join Coach Aimée @ Ice Vault

The U.S. Figure Skating ASPIRE Program helps beginning figure skaters make the transition from Learn to Skate USA group classes into U.S. Figure Skating. 


Aspire offers a safe and supportive group training environment that keeps costs down and motivation high as skaters enhance skills, develop good practice habits, and learn the fundamentals of off-ice training alongside their peers.


Experience a variety of training opportunities while fine-tuning your skills through proper progression and development of good technique:

  • Intro to Moves in the Field / Skating Skills & Testing
  • Edge Class
  • Jumps & Spins
  • Performance & Artistry
  • Off-Ice Training
  • Registration includes access to Coach Aimée's 2023 Figure Skating Planner, ISI Membership thru August 31, 2023, and ISI testing up to Gamma level.


The Aspire program is a perfect complement to Learn to Skate USA and ISI group lessons and an excellent addition to private lessons. 


The class is on Mondays and begins promptly at 4:30 pm for 90 minutes. 


Pre-Registration is Required - No Walk-Ins Will Be Permitted!


No Refunds or Make-Up Classes.

It's Time to Take the Next Step in Your Skating Journey.

The Aspire program at Ice Vault is for you if you:

  • Are 7-14 years old
  • Currently, Learn to Skate Basic 4 / ISI Gamma or higher
  • Have Your Own Skates
  • Want to Progress Faster 
  • Learn More About Opportunities in Figure Skating 
  • Aim Higher!


Find out what you need to know about competing, testing, and everything in between!


Class Size is Limited to 12 Skaters - Basic 4 level & above. Lower levels may be permitted with Coach Aimée's approval.

Learn to Train as a Figure Skater!

Aspire classes are geared toward the levels of the skaters enrolled.

For skaters of multiple levels, we use skill matching to include every skater and ensure that they are learning new skills and improving existing ones. While the program at Ice Vault is open to skaters starting at Basic 4, it can go up through Learn to Skate Free Skate 6 and Preliminary moves in the field. 


Aspire is meant to supplement Learn to Skate classes and even private lessons. Aspire does not follow the Learn to Skate USA curriculum. Rather, it incorporates skating skills and off-ice training into a higher-level group program. 


Through the development of athleticism and skill, Aspire helps skaters build a solid foundation that drives success on and off the ice. Skaters will learn how to warm up like a champion, navigate freestyle sessions, and practice independently. 

My daughter really loves working with Coach Aimée! The classes are tough but also fun. She is so excited about learning a new skill in every class and keeps asking for extra ice time to practice what she learned.

  • PSA Registered Ratings: Moves/Skating Skills Coach, Program Director, Group Instructor

I became a coach to help aspiring skaters avoid making the mistakes that I made. I've suffered injuries, and been exhausted and frustrated because I couldn't access the right program and tools to achieve my goals properly. I learned everything the hard way by seeking instruction, information, and inspiration. 


My approach is unique because I am skilled in on-ice development and off-ice strength and conditioning to optimize on-ice performance, nutrition, and health coaching.


I now work with skaters, parents, and even other coaches – because I believe every skater deserves the opportunity to take their performance to the next level under the guidance of a coach who has been there and genuinely wants to help them succeed on the ice and in life!
