The eight levels of the program introduce the fundamental moves: forward skating, backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, three turns, Mohawks, THESE SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS TO BECOMING A STRONG FIGURE SKATER or HOCKEY PLAYER.  The Basic Skills give skaters the basic knowledge of the skating, enabling them to advance to the more specialized areas of skating.
