Help for Ice Skating Lessons?

Ice skating help please?

• Well I might be starting ice skating lessons soon and I need some info. 1) what should I wear? 2) do I need to do all 3 ice skating levels before I can do figure skating lessons? 3) do I need my own ice skates? 4) will I be able to have private coaching? 5) when wearing dresses do we HAVE to wear tights? I hope we do because I hate my legs! 6) how can I make over boot tights look good? At the top of the boot it looks all big and lumpy and horrible when you look at pictures. Thanks for the help. I'm will be going to Coventry snowdome uk if that helps.

  Hi i have been skating not very long less then 2 years and in freestyle 2 what you should wear is something like yoga pants and a t shirt and sweat shirt. for a begginer you may fall a lot while learning the elements. Levels depending on which program if its usfsa (the one i am in) if you are over a certain age you will start in basic one. If you are older you may advance quicker. you own skates are expensive i didnt get mine till basic 8 wich they dont recceomend but if your seriose and want to continue i would get your own. I love jacksons skates. Yes if you choose to you can get your own private coach just ask ur rink about them if you wear a dress you must wear tights they make special tights for warmth and and it keeps from getting scrapes when falling HOped i helped!
