Edge Class Wednesdays

Ice Theatre of New York is holding Wednesday edge classes at 1:30pm through December 22, 2021 at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers. Taught by ITNY Ensemble Director, Elisa Angeli, the class teaches you how to hone your skills on the ice in 50-minute sessions set to music followed by an additional 15 minutes of free skating. To take part, skaters must be proficient in their forward and backward skating with speed, able to do forward outside/inside three turns, and forward inside mohawks. Classes begin with simple exercises, then move on to more complex patterns and ensemble skating exercises. The classes focus in-depth on the grounded knee bend (Plié), dynamic placement of the free leg, twisting and the use of the arms to shape space and full use of the eyes for balance and style. The full 10-week session is $150 and drop-in classes are $20.
