Introduction

I love to meet nice people and to ice skate/ice dance. This group is a great way to do them both at the same time!

How long have you been ice skating?

50 years and one of these days I'm going to get it down.

What Gene Grinnell is saying about this Meetup Group

It's a great opportunity to take your ice skating to a new level. It's lots of fun and great exercise.

    Every Sunday Social Ice Dance Session

    "It was a fun session but it would even be more fun with a few more skaters so I'm going to keep putting the word out to anyone who might like to learn to ice dance that this is a great opportunity to get started with it."

    "Hi Nita, Thanks for joining the ice skating meetup group. Would you rate yourself as closer to an expert at ice skating or a beginner at it? Both are welcome but they do require different session types.

    I try to skate as often as possible so attend sessions wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Let me know what times and rinks would work for you and I'll look forward to meeting you on the ice at some point this season."
