Learn to Skate at Ice on the Landing!

This season at Ice on the Landing, we’re thrilled to introduce the ISI Ice Skating Program — the nation’s original learn-to-skate system that has helped more than 10 million people discover the joy of ice skating since 1959!

The ISI program encourages participation for all ages and abilities, with the fun-first motto: “Participation, Not Elimination.” Our certified ISI-member coaches make learning fun, safe, and rewarding for every skater — whether it’s your child’s very first time on the ice or they’re ready to take their skating skills to the next level.

🏅 Program Levels

Skaters progress through exciting, structured levels — from:

Tot 1–4: Perfect for ages 6 and under, learning balance, coordination, and confidence on the ice.
Pre-Alpha through Delta: Builds forward and backward skating, gliding, stopping, and turning skills.

Each level comes with a colorful achievement badge, and participants can join special performances, exhibitions, and competitions throughout the season. Whether your goal is to skate for fun or follow in the footsteps of ISI stars like Michelle Kwan, Jason Brown, and Gracie Gold, this is the perfect way to begin your skating journey!

Lou Ann Atkinson

I began skating at the age of 4 and have continued to be involved in the sport during my entire lifetime. During my childhood, I competed in the ISI program in freestyle, figures, dance, and couples. I became an ISI Professional Instructor at the age of 16 and coached at both Decatur and Huntsville, AL, taking teams to many ISI competitions throughout the southeast over the years. I also ran many hockey clinics teaching Power Skating to their hockey programs. I took a break due to my full time career and raising 2 hockey players, but then joined an Adult synchro team and enjoyed getting back on the ice and competing again.

I’ve been involved with Ice on the Landing since I retired and moved to Chattanooga in 2014. I’ve been Assistant Manager for the past 3 years, and I’m so excited to be a part of starting the ISI Skating School this season and sharing my love as a lifelong figure skater

Since 2021, I’ve worked on Skate Patrol with Ice on the Landing, and I am a certified ISI Skating Instructor dedicated to sharing my lifelong love of figure skating with others.

I started skating in Houston, Texas and have been skating for 14 years. I’m a 2x USFS Gold Medalist in Moves in the Field and Senior Solo Free Dance.

After graduating high school, I competed on University of Michigan’s Open Collegiate and Collegiate Synchronized Skating teams, earning a Collegiate National Championship title in 2020. I’ve also performed in many ice shows, including the Nutcracker on Ice and an exciting feature at a Red Wings hockey game in Detroit with the UofM Synchro team. After graduating UofM with a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, I continued skating recreationally whenever I had free time. I’m now an ISI Skating Instructor, and I’m excited to help others build their skills, confidence, and love for skating!
