Your Instructor
Kara Agosta, Owner/Head Coach
“Figure skating has always been a passion of mine as well as mentoring, guiding, and being a role model to little ones. If I could pass down anything that I learned to prepare my skaters for success it would bring me great joy. Being a skating coach is so rewarding; my favourite parts are watching their faces light up when accomplishing an element and when they receive their first badges. Skating has always played a huge role in my life, and I hope to ignite the same passion within the students I work with.”
