The Martha’s Vineyard Ice Theatre Ballet and Art On Ice project, which aims to build a non-competitive skating community, is looking into offering off-ice community classes this summer while the Martha’s Vineyard Ice Arena is closed.

Basic ballet and tai chi techniques are good cross-training for ice skating. Tai chi classes take place at the YMCA on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 a.m. Summer off-ice community classes may be organized at times convenient to those interested. For information and to schedule classes call Corinne 508-423-9566.
