Skate away the winter blahs
Would you rather your teen post on Facebook or have a blast with friends in real life? Sit in front of a gaming screen or glide across the ice? Ice skating is a classic pastime that combats winter boredom and gets teens moving and socializing. The Cube in Findlay is a popular hangout for the teenage crowd with a public skate — complete with pop music and strobe lights — every Friday and Saturday, from 8 to 11 p.m. For teens who want to learn how to ice skate or improve their technique, the Cube offers skate lessons. The lessons, taught by instructors certified by the Ice Skating Institute, are geared toward ages 5 to adult and every skill level from beginning to advanced. The five-class sessions cost $25 per student, including instruction, skate rental and, when available, admission to public skating immediately following each lesson. Upcoming opportunities for instruction include Session 3, December 15 and 22 and January 5, 12 and 19; a Holiday Session during the school break, December 26 through 30; and Session 4, January 26, February 2 and 23 and March 2 and 9.
