Olympic dreams are a somersault away when the after-school, figure-skating school opens on Jan. 13 at the new LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park.
Students in first-through-eighth grades are eligible for the Brooklyn Ice-run program, offering skating instructions, plus homework help, educational activities, workshops on nutrition, college readiness courses, and off-ice exercises, including Pilates.
Free for kids who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program, but there is a deposit for skates and a refundable registration fee. Participants must commit to attend the twice-weekly sessions, held on Mondays and Wednesdays, from Jan. 13 through March, 2014, from 4 to 6:15 pm (weather permitting). Register through Dec. 31.
