Beyond the Rink

Skating Evolution's One-on-One Approach

Hello and Welcome to Skating Evolution!

I'm Mari, the founder and a passionate figure skating pro with decades of experience since 1988. I'm here to share with you the incredible story behind our mission and why I founded Skating Evolution.

You see, I've witnessed firsthand how intimidating and overwhelming a roller rink can be, especially for beginners. It's not easy to step onto the floor surrounded by seasoned skaters effortlessly gliding and twirling. I've seen the fear in the eyes of those taking their first steps on wheels, and I knew I had to help.

Moreover, I understand the frustration that comes when self-taught roller-skaters hit a plateau. After pouring countless hours into practicing and honing their skills, progress can become elusive, leaving them stuck in their skating journey. That feeling of being "stuck" can be disheartening and may dampen the passion for skating.

Driven by the desire to make a positive difference, I founded Skating Evolution with the vision of creating a supportive and inclusive space for skaters of all levels. My mission is to guide you on your skating journey, whether you're a beginner seeking to conquer the rink with confidence or an experienced skater yearning to break through that plateau and unlock new horizons.

At Skating Evolution, we believe in the power of individualized attention and tailored coaching. With my expertise and guidance, you can expect a friendly and approachable environment where you'll receive personalized feedback and support. Together, we'll work on your specific needs and goals, helping you improve your skills, build confidence, and overcome any obstacles that come your way.

So, whether you're taking your first hesitant steps on wheels or seeking a breakthrough in your skating journey, Skating Evolution is here for you. Together, we'll embark on an incredible transformation and rewrite your skating story.

Are you ready to evolve as a skater? Join Skating Evolution and let's embark on this incredible journey together!
