What People are Saying About Us

Rated 5 out of 5

Blades N Motion has been a great outlet for my children to learn how to skate. The instructors do a great job at engaging the kids and teaching them the fundamentals. We enjoy the smaller class sizes and the sense of community that has been created. Harper (9 years old) has been attending classes for 4 years and Peton (4 years old) is looking forward to a second year of classes.

We love Blades in Motion! There are many reasons why we have enjoyed this skating program for our three children Finn, Emily and Keira. First, we love the ease of registration. Second, we love the welcoming environment, and organization when we arrive for lessons. We appreciate the option of rental skates each session. Our kids have grown in many ways. Not only skating efficiency, but also confidence. The fun and engaging activities and skills allow our kids to be engaged and thrive on the ice. Ice-skating and Minnesota, what a wonderful combination!

Our son, Nathan, has done 4 sessions of Hockey Development with Blades N Motion now with Barb and her team. They have made him have a new found love for the game and his skills/edgework have improved significantly because of the way of their teaching and ability to correct him when it is needed. She works with each child individually to make sure they are learning correct technique of crossovers and skating backwards. We highlight recommend Blades to everyone we talk to and will continue to develop his skills through the rest of his hockey career with Blades N Motion. Thank you Barb and staff for your dedication to these kids futures with the sport of Hockey
