Empower Yourself - Skate With Amy Pailthorpe Figure Skating Coach

I am a Level 1 accredited coach with APSA, and a member of Ice Skating Australia and The Figure Skating Association of Tasmania. Skating since the age of 9 and am currently still competing in ISA levels. 

Throughout my years of figure skating, I have had the opportunity to compete in many state and interstate competitions; Hollins Trophy, Olympic Trophy Challenge, Swan Trophy, Crystal Challenge, Winter Sun, Dragon City, Triple Challenge, Tasmanian State Championship, Tasmanian Artistic Trophy and Australian Figure Skating Championships. I have been fortunate to be able to attend many figure skating workshops and have learnt useful skating techniques from coaches, Sergei Shakhrai, Richard Laidlaw, Oxana Anichkina, Michael Pasfield, Brian Duckworth, Melanie Carrington, Michael Kho, Valentin Kadzevitch, Meagan Duhamel, Eric Radford, Igor Tchiniaev, Karolina Korfanty, Manon Perron and Kylie Fennell, to improve my skating and coaching skills. Also, I have danced since the age of 2 with Jenina’s Dance Workshop and am experienced in a wide variety of dance, including jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical and ballet, in which I have competed state wide as well as representing Tasmania at interstate dancing competitions. 

​

I love to coach all abilities in figure skating, as well as skating skills for ice hockey.

There is currently no permanent ice rink in Tasmania, so I continue to travel once a month in Melbourne with a group of skaters. We are hoping for a permanent ice rink in Tasmania in the near future.
