Skating school

Helsingfors Skridskoklubb (HSK) offers figure skating lessons for beginners (children and adults) also in English.

Our skating school is the perfect place to start practicing your skating skills with trained instructors. In skating school one gets familiar with the elements of ice skating. Skating skills are taught by varying teaching methods and it’s fun to learn new skills by playing on ice.
Please note that we do not have skates for rent and take a look at our info for skating school to see which equipment is good for skating school lessons. Welcome to skate with us!

Please notice, there are no lessons during the Easter holiday Mar 28 – Apr 1. The spring season for childrens skating school ends at the Spring Show on Apr 14th in Töölö, Helsinki Ice Rink. Last lesson for adults is held on Apr 14th.
