The Gardens will be offering work sessions daily to accommodate the competitive figure and dance skaters. A work session (WS) will consist of skaters wishing to practice freestyle, field moves and dance. Eligible skaters must have passed the indicated level to skate that session (some sessions are a combination of two levels):
- (O) = Open to all skaters
- (L) = Low: No Test, preliminary
- (I) = Intermediate - Pre-Juvenile + Juvenile
- (H) = High - Intermediate and above
- (D) = Dance - Ice Dance ONLY
- (*C) = Class - Must be that level to join
Commencing January 1, 2004 Gardens Sports Limited will be changing the freestyle work session payment options. PRE-REGISTRATION will no longer be offered. Instead we will offer the following:
