2024-2025 DMFSC Bridge Program

    Take the next step in your figure skating journey with group lessons designed for aspiring figure skaters*. DMFSC's Bridge program exposes skaters to a variety of skating disciplines including spins, jumps, moves in the field, dance, off-ice and power while teaching parents and skaters about testing and competing through US Figure Skating. Classes will take place on Tuesdays from at 7:15 at The Rec Plex in West Des Moines. The cost for each 6-week session is $155 for DMFSC Members and $175 for Non-DMFSC Members. Included with each class is a practice session following the lesson. Our next Bridge session starts on 9/17.
