Bracknell Ice Skating Club Email Newsflash - January 2016

!!Online Booking is now open!!

Following on from our recent newsflash, BISC are very pleased to be able to confirm two skating camps taking place during February half term.

Details about the costs as well as the link to the on-line booking form can be found at the bottom of this newsflash.

February 17^th and February 18^th 2016

Mark Hanretty Components Camp

This is a camp that guest coach Mark Hanretty has offered very successfully elsewhere since finishing as a skating pro on Dancing on Ice. 

 Mark describes himself and the camp saying;

“I am particularly passionate about improving British skating to international level and having spent many years training and competing abroad, I don't believe it's impossible. Instead I simply believe hard work and mindfulness of the current standard internationally will make a big difference. I think blissful ignorance to the standard set by North Americans, Russians and Asian skaters is causing us to lag behind.

 My course covers three golden rules of posture, knee bend and extension. Thereafter, I utilise 5 key positions most commonly used in skating transitions to ramify the golden rules. Once these fundamentals are established, I set exercises - with these principles in mind - to music”

This camp is relevant to all skaters who wish to improve their overall skating and crosses all disciplines.  It does not matter how old you are or if you are not yet competing or even do not intend to compete, the basic principles offered are the same.  The camp runs over two days, however skaters can do just one day of the camp if they prefer.

This camp is open to all skaters who were BISC members on the January 1^st 2016.  Sign up is on a strictly first come first served basis as places are limited.

 February 19^th 2016

Mark Hanretty Dance Camp

This one day camp is for Ice Dancers, both soloists and couples and is in addition to the components camp.  Dancers are in the position to benefit from both camps.  Mark is designing a specific dance based day for us.

Again this camp is open to all skaters who were BISC members on the January 1^st 2016.  Sign up is strictly on a first come first served basis as places are limited.

Please see Marks’ website www.markhanretty.co.uk for more general information about him and his previous camps.
