Welcome to Uschi Keszler's Hydroblading ® Academy of Skating, Summer Session. This program provides skaters of all levels with a true "academy" education in figure skating. The team-oriented staff of professionals aim to develop champions through a common philosophy: a positive learning environment with essential on and off-ice training produces healthy and well-rounded athletes.

Uschi Keszler, World and Olympic Coach of Elvis Stojko, Brian Orser, Brasseur & Eisler and others, sets her standards very high.

"Through my Hydroblading® Academy and its innovative approach to high performance training, skaters can meet and redefine the demands of our sport.”

Fun, Focus, Fire, Flow & Form

Those five "F" words describe Uschi Keszler's philosophy for Iceworks figure skaters and emphasize a complete training process she has launched at IceWorks.

"I am very proud of the showing our kids from IceWorks have made. In a short time, they have become very recognizable", she says.

But with the growing success of our skaters, we are also becoming aware of the rash of injuries that have occurred in U.S. Elite skaters across the country this year. In an effort to help prevent any such a trend at IceWorks, a regimen of on and off-ice training sessions has begun.

The Academy program that IceWorks offers is evaluated monthly in order to keep up with changing needs of the skaters. It is a total skating education program involving a staff of gifted coaches with a variety of expertise in different elements of skating and conditioning.

Academy group classes that are presently available include Hydroblading®, Stroking, off-Ice Fitness / Strength Conditioning, Body Awareness - Dance Movement , Pairs and Off-Ice Pairs and are described below
