When Can You Interrupt Someone Else's Lesson?

1. There's an emergency. A real one, not a 'figure skating emergency'. A real emergency involves an ambulance, the police, and the possibility of lawyers.

Zombies would be an acceptable reason as well.

2. You need to pass a lesson payment to the Coach. This is done by skating up to the coach and handing over the payment.  YOU MAY NOT HANG AROUND AND TALK. You are expected to hand over the payment, and move on.
"Hi, here's your payment. Bye!"


As far as I know, there here are no other reasons: Not scheduling, not choreography, not test questions, not anything.

  1. You know...you can leave your payment to the coach with the rink front desk. They'll hold it for him/her. There's really NO need to interrupt a lesson unless someone's dying.

    1. Our front desk is too busy to do that, and the clerks won't accept responsibility for cash. But still if your rink has that option, it's a good solution.

  2. It's always interesting to learn how different rinks are-we don't pay the coach directly. The coach fills out a form that is left at the front desk and when we arrive we pay them. I've never known if the coach receives 100 percent or if the rink has some of it or how that works.

    1. I've been told that most rinks charge a commission.
