Advanced Program Overview
Advanced Program Overview
The Bismarck Figure Skating Club’s Advanced Program includes instructions and testing in Singles (Free Skate), Skating Skills (Moves in the Field), and Dance in accordance with the U.S. Figure Skating guidelines and disciplines.
Before members can skate in the Advanced Program, they must pass Learn to Skate tests and be approved by the Advanced Director.
As an Advanced skater, skaters must contract individually with a primary and/or secondary coach, schedule their ice time with their coach’s guidance, and pay their coaching fees.

How does the BFSC Advanced Program work?
How does the BFSC Advanced Program work?
The Advanced Program offers both Monitored & Unmonitored sessions.
Monitored Sessions will be supervised by the Advanced Director. Skates may skate whether or not their coach is present to supervise their session.
Unmonitored Sessions will not be supervised by the Advanced Director. Skaters skating these sessions must be supervised by their coach.
Skaters register for 45-minute ice session, where they may contract lessons with BFSC Advanced Program coaches.
During lessons, coaches will work with skaters toward their individual growth in the sport. Lessons may include instruction within:
Free Skate (Jumps, Spins, Programs, etc.)
Skating Skills (Moves in the Field)
Ice Dance [Pattern and/or Free Dance]
Character Development (Perseverance, poise, grit, resiliency, and more!)
All Advanced Session Registrations must be confirmed with the skater's primary coach. Remember to double check whether the sessions you choose are 'Monitored' or 'Unmonitored' sessions:
