What People Are Saying About Us

We’ve participated in Blades n Motion for the past four years and highly recommend the program! Our children started in the Skating School at 3-years old. Both quickly learned the fundamentals and became confident skaters. Barb and her team of instructors are amazing! They keep kids engaged, and ensure that everyone is having fun while learning to skate. Additionally, the program is very well-run and organized!

We have two young children in Mite Development at Blades n Motion, and we can’t say enough good things about the program. Barb Yackel’s experience and professionalism are what makes this skating school so strong. She is a local legend in the skating world. With her leadership and enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff, you know your child is learning from the best. We love the focus on the fundamentals of skating, first and foremost, and the Blades n Motion staff does a great job of making learning to skate challenging AND fun!

Lori Gerten

Molly started skating with Blades ‘n Motion three years ago and it’s been such a fun ride! The coaches are so personable and patient, and really great at teaching a strong foundation; progressing each student by their needs. Molly started competition skating this year and it is such a source of pride and confidence in her life now. We are so happy for her!
