All our participants must be a member of Learn to Skate-USA to enroll in our classes.
There will be a prompt that will allow you to look up the number and confirm it is your skater’s information or to purchase a new one for a skater. The front desk cannot find this information for you or accept registrations at the desk because you need this number to complete the transaction.
Once you confirm your number, you can access the number again on your Dash account under passes and memberships. It will be stored until June 30th of each year.
This is your number for life, no matter where you take lessons, and only needs to be renewed once a year in June.

Ashburn Ice House- First Day of Class Recommendations
Arrival time on the first day.
Students should arrive at least 15 minutes before class to get their skates on and prepare for class.
What to wear on the ice-
- All students should wear a jacket, gloves, and warm clothes that allow them free movement on the ice.
- Helmets are always recommended, especially for children six and under. We require an HECC Approved Hockey helmet with face mask for our Learn to Hockey Skate levels.
- And the number one forgotten item? Socks! A thin pair that rises above the ankle is best to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
The Ashburn Ice House DOES NOT provide or rent:
helmets, jackets, gloves, or socks.

Where to go when you get to the Ashburn Ice House-
