“Almost 20 years after the end of my professional ballet career, I took up figure skating this Spring. With its well-thought-out structure and progression, and using the Conservatory resources, I quickly recognized the WFS Art of Skating as the safest and most efficient way to train, akin to the best ballet pedagogies. I used it to improve rapidly and won the Gold Medal at the 2024 International Open Division at the World Figure and Fancy Skating Championships on black ice! World Figure Sport is willing to work outside the coaching model box, and has provided fantastic support at every step. I enjoy the infinite challenge of Figures and the self-discovery that comes with studying them.”

— Elizabeth Fischer, post-professional ballet dancer, Skating Artist

“As a lifetime skater, my journey with World Figure Sport has opened my mind and expanded my repertoire of techniques on how to train even my youngest tots to oldest clients, by more profoundly connecting their brains to blades both on and off the ice. I am inspired by new ways to communicate the language and patterns of great skating in a fun, cost efficient and effective manner. I continue to learn, educate and love the Art of Skating now more than ever.”

— Patricia Perrigo, Skating Educator: 50 years figure skating, 35 years coaching figure and hockey skating, choreographing and directing shows and programs
