Celebrating Achievements
Hello, Hola, Hallo, Ciao, Annyeonghaseyo, Konnichiwa Skaters. 👋
More Than Just Skating.
And we enjoy our time off the ice too, with welcome gatherings, presentations, camp dinners, and relaxed cocktails at the bar. It’s a chance to unwind, share stories, and celebrate our shared love of ice dance while catching up on each other’s latest skating adventures.
Lookback to 2025
What a Week at Lake Bled in 2025!
Month
August, 2025
Date
Lake Bled, Slovenia
What an incredible week we had at the Lake Bled International Ice Dance Camp 2025! From Motivation Monday to Social Dance Friday, the rink was filled with energy, laughter, and so many smiling faces.
We kicked things off with determination and enthusiasm, guided by our amazing coaching team Jimmy, Jason, Helen, Dan, and Jan, who brought not only world-class expertise but endless positivity and encouragement. By Tango Tuesday, we were feeling the rhythm (and maybe a few sore muscles!), and by Thursday, the progress was shining through with graceful edges and a few sassy sambas!
Off the ice, we shared plenty of fun too, from evening cocktails to our camp dinner at The Old Cellar, where we celebrated new friendships, achievements, and a week full of “aha!” moments.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for making this camp so special. You worked hard, supported one another, and filled the rink with the true spirit of ice dance.
Until next time – keep skating, keep smiling, and keep the Lake Bled magic alive!
