    New Year, New Offerings, New Schedule!

    Comments Off on New Year, New Offerings, New Schedule!

    After 6 months of providing a recreational skating place to San Diegans, we have learned a lot at our outdoor skating facility.  We have made small changes all along the way such as expanding the length of open sessions, adding live DJs, bringing on new instructors, adding new course offerings, and so much more.

    Our skaters have more requests and we are doing our best to honor as many of those as we can while keeping our business afloat during this unprecedented time. We have hit a number of roadblocks and setbacks throughout this pandemic but we continue to push on and give our skaters the most welcoming and safe environment we can under the circumstances we get handed on a daily basis.

    In the new year, we will be adding many new course offerings that skaters have been asking for including Rhythm & Vibe with Monae, Teen Dance with Melissa and Figure Skating Basics with Carolee as well as bringing back Skate Skills Vol 2 with Mike.  Our guests have also asked for more and earlier All Ages Open Sessions.  We are adding those to the schedule in a new category called Matinee Open Session which will now be offered 4 days a week.  Many guests love the big flood lights turned off for our special sessions so we’ll be making that a regular part of our weekends.

    In order to accommodate all of these new offerings, we have made a couple other changes which will begin in January:

    • All instructed classes will become 60 minutes in length. Our instructors will be teaching the same amount of content they taught this past year in each class but in a slightly shorter period of time.
    • There will be two types of Open Session Passes:
      Matinees Only $12 – Can only be used on Matinee Sessions. No live DJ for Matinees.
      Any Open Session $15 – Can be used for Night/DJ Sessions and/or Matinee Sessions.
    • All previous passes purchased in 2020 at the lower Open Session Punch Card rate on existing member accounts still work until they expire.  Meaning, existing members can buy more of the passes at the $10 rate (or less when you buy 3 or 5) and use them until next summer. Buy them now before January 1, you will continue to enjoy the more affordable rate well into 2021.  Passes are good for 6 months from purchase.  Special Events are always excluded from the Punch Card rates.
    • Lights Out for the Weekends: Monday-Wednesday Night Session full flood lights up on the skating floor as they have been for this past year, Thursday-Saturday we’ll turn the flood lights out and have a darker club vibe with the DJ party lights only.
    • In order to comply with current restrictions (no food & beverage) and to better accommodate our regular session skaters, we will not be booking private parties in the new year.  Existing reservations will remain on the books. We will reconsider this offering once the current surge of COVID-19 has begun to subside.

    Thank you so much for your continued patience and understanding as we change and grow to meet the ever-changing needs of the community we serve.
