Learning to skate is easy and fun! It requires a little determination and a lot of practice. Whether your goal is to learn to skate backward or spin really fast, we've got the place for you to start!

The Dallas Stars Try Skating for Free Program is a free program for participants of all ages who are interested in learning how to ice skate. Each session during the program, participants will receive 30 minutes of instruction with trained coaches to begin learning the basics of skating. Skaters will have the opportunity to skate for free during the public skating session held on the day of their class (if scheduling allows) in order to work on their skills and spend some time getting comfortable on the ice.

Please note if you have participated in any in-ice StarCenter program or "Try Skating for Free" previously, you are ineligible to participate
