Upcoming BIC EVENTS

Theme Skates

Skate with Santa - Saturday, Dec. 6 | 12:30–2:00 PM

  • Celebrate the holiday season by skating with Santa! Enjoy a free cookie and 8oz hot chocolate with paid admission. Santa will be available for photos. Come cheer on the Bloomington Pops Team during their performance!

Freestyle Incentive Program

Our coaching team is excited to launch a new Freestyle Incentive Program to help skaters make the most of their practice time!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Skaters use a practice plan sheet to guide each 30-minute freestyle session.

  2. After practice, they bring their sheet to a coach for a stamp.

  3. After earning 10 stamps, they can choose a prize from the Treasure Chest!

This fun program encourages consistent practice habits while preparing for upcoming shows, competitions, and tests!
