Coaching Team

Meet the WISA Coaches
The Wheaton Ice Skating Academy coaching team consists of professional ice skating coaches of the highest caliber, as well as top ballroom dancing and ballet professionals, who work together to fully develop the skaters' presence and performance on the ice. Academy skating coaches train the skaters on a daily basis, both on and off the ice, while specialists in spins, ballroom dancing, and ballet work with the skaters regularly to fine-tune various aspects of their movements and presentation. The entire WISA coaching team is devoted to helping each skater reach his or her full potential as an athlete, performer, and competitor. Follow the links below for details on each coach's background and experience.
