“As a former Team USA member, Olympian and a current coaching professional, one of my greatest joys is teaching the next generation of skaters the proper fundamentals. There is no better place to learn how to skate than The Skating Academy,” said Simon Shnapir, a coach at The Skating Academy and 2014 Olympian.
