Winter/Spring Dance for Skaters at the MARC begins 1/9

Our Dance for figure skaters program will focus on different styles of dance.

This program will help increase the athletes’ flexibility, agility and their ability to move more creatively and gracefully across the floor, which will then transfer to their on ice performance.

Winter Spring Classes will run Tuesdays at the MARC from 4:20-5:20pm beginning January 9th and ending May 28th. Blackout dates are 2/19 & 4/16.

ice monitors needed!

Club ice has started and we need ice monitors to check in skaters and take punches and payments for drop-ins. This is a great opportunity to watch your child skate, get to know the other club members and socialize with other parents in the lobby all while getting your volunteer hours done!

Please contact Sara Simonsen at sara.e.simonsen@gmail.com or (801)949-2879.


Welcome to our new Aspire Members!

Welcome to our new Aspire members who have joined for session 2!

Our Personaliteez team store has new items!

Check out our team store for new items including: insulated, embroidered vests, hoodies, and a new style Mondor club jacket.



Club ice has started! We still have a few spots available in our new group classes!

As club ice session 2 gets underway, here are a few reminders:

  • Please check in with the ice monitor, they don't know who everyone is. Be kind and respectful, they are volunteers.
  • Don't get on the ice before your session begins. Skating a portion of another session requires a punch.
  • Several sessions are sold out so if your skater is planning to use a punch pass, they will need to check in with the ice monitor first to make sure there is a spot for them.
  • On Wednesdays, the rink asks the figure skating club to use the locker rooms as Learn to Skate begins immediately after club and there simply is not enough seating in the lobby.
  • If you are an Aspire member and have program music, you will need to purchase a digital keycard to upload your music to. Please see Erika. Cost is $10.
