Private Figure Skating Lessons in Montclair, NJ
Private lessons are the fastest, most efficient path to progress on the ice — and at Krigor Studio they're built around one thing: you. At the Montclair State University Ice Arena, our coaches draw on the methodologies of world-class champions and Olympians to design sessions tailored to your biomechanics, your goals and the way you learn.
A program designed around you
No two skaters are the same, so no two lesson plans are either. In your first sessions we assess your current level, posture and movement patterns, then map a clear progression toward your goal — whether that's your first clean Axel, stronger program components, or breaking through a plateau that group lessons can't solve. Because every minute on the ice is focused on you, private lessons consistently produce the fastest improvement.
What you'll develop
Under the focused attention of an expert coach, you'll work on the full toolkit: deep, controlled edges and powerful stroking; spins with stable centering and speed; jumps built progressively from waltz jump to your target element; and the program components — transitions, choreography, performance — that judges reward. Throughout, we emphasize intelligent, injury-preventive technique that protects your body as it builds skill.
Who private lessons are for
Private coaching suits every level: a beginner who wants careful, confident fundamentals; a competitive skater preparing for tests or competition; or an adult who simply wants focused, flexible scheduling. Many skaters pair private lessons with our group classes or off-ice conditioning for a complete training plan.
