Private Lessons - Winterhurst Ice

April Gabrylski

I began skating with the Winterhurst LTS program when I was 10yrs old. I continued on to complete my Silver Skating Skills and Pre-Silver Singles tests’ before switching focus to study full time at Baldwin Wallace University towards a Bachelors in Science double majoring in I/O Psychology. I began coaching with the Winterhurst LTS program in the Summer of 2012, later having opportunities to choreograph ice show numbers and gain experience leading students in local competitions.
