Jenny Ferguson: Hi! My name is Jenny. Although I had a successful competitive skating career and toured professionally when I was younger, I think my greatest accomplishments on ice have come from coaching. I have over 20 years of coaching experience and have coached beginner thru National level competitors, teaching waltz jumps through triple jumps. I have worked with all ages from ice babies to adult skaters, and have also worked with many hockey players on power and edge quality. Recently, I was honored to be a 2023 National Development Camp "team leader" at U.S Nationals. My heart is happiest breaking down technique for jumps and spins, and seeing skaters start to improve :) I love seeing a student work hard, while understanding it is equally important to have fun while doing it. I believe I can help foster a love for this beautiful sport while instilling lessons and mind set that will help them grow into adulthood. Skating and coaching has always been about so much more to me than just the hours on the ice. There is something magical about figure skating. I guess that's what keeps us getting back on the ice after all those fails. lol.

Natalie Worstein: I began my skating career 29 years ago. After my parents saw me jumping around the living room while watching skating, and almost kicking over the TV! They decided it would be best to put me in skating school lessons! I competed up through the Novice level at dozens of in-house competitions as well as showcases. Career highlights for me were competing at the Central Pacific Regional Championships, attending training camp along side the likes of Sasha Cohen, and developing and showcasing the artistry of figure skating through choreography. I began my coaching journey at Ice Palace Hawaii in 2012 and over the years I have trained in aspects of dance, choreography, and theater arts. I specialize in coaching left handed or "opposite way" skaters. Most of all I look forward to sharing the love and passion for the sport with my current and future students.
