You have a date coming up, a test or a competition or a trip, and you want to arrive ready.
You have done the courses and you want the version of feedback about your own skating.

Here’s what makes this different

A course can only ever teach you the thing in general. A session is the other half: Maja watches what you are actually doing and tells you what she sees. Most skaters arrive with one element and leave with an explanation that covers four, because the thing going wrong in a three-turn is usually the thing going wrong everywhere else too. That is the part no recording can do, because it has never met you.

Here’s who you’re learning from

Maja Luther is the founder of Digital Skating School and the coach behind The SkateSmart Somatic Method™. She performed as a principal in ice shows across more than 40 countries and choreographed for Olympians, including Alexia Paganini.

She completed her Master’s at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, and over the last 10 years she has coached adult skaters and Olympic athletes.

“Tell me where you want to go, and we’ll build the road.”

What a session is good for

Bring one thing. The session goes wherever it needs to from there, and that is usually somewhere you did not expect.

1An element that will not moveYou have drilled it for months. Maja finds the thing underneath it, which is rarely the element itself.

2Video of your own skatingSend it beforehand. Watching it together is faster than describing it.

3A season to planWhat to work on, in what order, and what to leave alone for now.

4A body that is not cooperatingWhere you are gripping, where the movement starts, and what to do about it off the ice.

Here’s what’s inside

One session, 1-on-1Online, with Maja, on your schedule. Long enough to look properly at what you brought and short enough to stay useful.

Your video, watched before you meetSend it when you book. She watches it beforehand, so the time goes straight onto the answer.

Improvements you can use immediatelyThe thing to change at your next practice, and how to tell whether it worked.

Booked directly with Maja after you buy, whenever fits your schedule.

You leave with one instruction for your next practice.

You find out whether the problem is the element or something further back.

You get an outside eye on skating you have only ever felt from the inside.

What you keep afterwards
