Meet Becca
Becca has been coaching Learn to Skate and private lessons since 2009. She loves working with beginners of all ages, and she especially loves adult skaters. Becca still actively competes and tests with USFS and believes that skating can and should be a lifetime sport. She helps skaters be their own RAY of sunshine on the ice and find their joy.

Adult Skating
Adults Skate, Too! It is entirely possible to find this sport as an adult and have a long competitive skating career. Every year, skaters in their 80's compete at the USFS Adult Figure Skating Championships. It is never too late to skate, and there are many ways to be involved. Becca LOVES working with adult skaters and can help prepare you for local, sectional, and national competitions. Becca is a partner in the skating journey for adult skaters and treats her skaters like the adults they are. Click here for more information about Adult Skating.
Synchronized Skating
Synchronized skating provides a team environment and allows skaters to continue to develop their skills in new and different ways. Becca can also help prepare you for synchro auditions or help you navigate interest in college skating programs. Click here for more information about synchronized skating.
Becca coaches Synchro with the North Iowa Figure Skating Club, and skaters interested in learning should sign up through NIFSC Learn To Skate. Currently, we have Synchro 1-4 classes available. We will be determining lines and competition opportunities for 25-26 as fall approaches, but we will likely have an Open Juvenile team, an Aspire team, and an in-house team. With enough interested adults, we could offer an Adult team as well!
Music
Music cuts are $6 per cut and include an MP3 of the final cut.
Skaters must send an MP3, link, or detailed information about the song and what (if any) parts they are seeking to keep in the final cut.
Off-Ice
Off-ice lessons are $10 per 1/2 hour.
Beginner's Off Ice Class is $10 and class dates will be announced. Check-in with Becca for details.
Online Off-Ice is available to students anywhere.
Custom stoning and beading
Becca can stone or bead your dress or costume at a reasonable rate. If you supply the stones, the cost is $10 per hour plus unused stones. If Becca supplies the beads, the cost is $10 plus the cost of stones (tax and shipping added). Becca will provide a "fix it kit" of matching stones. Custom non-dress pieces such as the headband pictured here start at $30.
