Tip of the Week
Keep your hands steady!
Our upper body creates our balance, so when your Instructors ask you to keep your hands steady… it’s because your feet do the work, and the upper body’s job is to balance you throughout the move.
Employee Spotlight
Mason Sherry:
Mason teaches Slalom on Sundays, and skates slalom every other day of the week. He also can be found skating Greenlake daily. He’s been skating with us and teaching with us for well over a decade and he is STILL so excited to teach each week. When not skating, he is the manager at the Paramount Theater (and other management positions with the Seattle Theatre Group). He and his wife Tamara (front desk/HR with SJ) skate all the time and it’s a family affair, as daughter Isabella is a Skate Instructor and used to skate with us until she went to college, and their other child, Florian, skates too (of course). Mason is a dynamic person who always shows up with a great attitude, defines ‘family’ and has made such a huge difference for Skate Journeys in a billion ways. We are grateful for his presence, his energy and the great ideas he shows up with. Take a class from him, you’ll see what a treasure he is!
