In our one year of operation, DDSA has taught over 200 youth skaters in our USFS “Learn to Skate” program. Each year, our students participate in events like our annual ice show, alongside many other highlights that leave our students feeling talented and accomplished.

If you are interested in supporting our efforts to build strong skaters at affordable rates, consider contributing to our $10,000 fundraising goal for 2023.
