    Off Ice Instruction By:
  
Ballet Coach: Monika Langer
 
Our ballet coach is Monika Langer. Monika graduated from Tbillsi (USSR) ballet school and has competed internationally. Monika has instructed ballet since 1993, with a strong focus of training figure skaters. Her experience has led her to work with some of the best figure skaters in Canada and USA including National competitors and Olympic Champions. Studying dance also delivers physical benefits -- greater strength, coordination and flexibility, along with increased self-discipline, poise and confidence. Ballet is an essential component of the development of a figure skater. Private instruction is available.
