Coaching

Petr and Andrea offer a full complement of figure skating training and support at rinks in the Tampa Bay Florida area. Petr offers private on-ice lessons in jumps, spins, and Moves In The Field, for all United States Figure Skating (USFS) freestyle levels, from Pre-Preliminary to Senior and Ice Skating Institute (ISI) levels 1 through 10. Andrea offers private on-ice lessons in ice dancing, Moves In The Field, stroking, and choreography for USFS freestyle levels, from Pre-Preliminary to Senior and USFS Dance, from Preliminary to Gold and Junior and Senior International Dances and all ISI freeskate and dance levels 1 through 10 and all adult levels.

In addition, Petr and Andrea have developed a specialized off-ice training program designed to enhance conditioning, strength, flexibility, balletic grace and stamina for skaters at every level. The off-ice classes include calisthenics, power moves, balance training, gymnastics, yoga, ballet workout, jazz and Pilates. Nutritional advice, personalized training plans, music editing, and costume advisory are also offered.

While both Petr and Andrea coach at the World/International level, they understand that not every skater is interested in pursuing the sport to that level. Therefore, their coaching and training regimen is tailored to offer a program for each skater’s desired achievement level. Their three defined training levels are Recreational, Amateur, and National/International. Every student receives the benefit of National/International level skating instruction, because Petr believes that perfection in all aspects of on-ice performance should be the goal of every skater, whether they strive to be a recreational or a world-level skater. Each student is challenged to refine each skating element and to perform with strength, grace and emotional, artistic interpretation.
