Danalee Harrison

Having coached for the Newton FSC in all disciplines for over a decade, I look forward to another decade ahead. I have been a member of the Newton FSC since the age of 3 with a great opportunity to give back to the community that I grew up in. I currently am certified NCCP Level 2, and Level 3 Theory, Technical and analysis. I enjoy the fresh new faces each year with a passion for learning the discipline and technique of a beautiful sport. Coaching all levels from CanSkate to Nationals, singles and Synchronized, being a mentor for these young athletes is what gives me the satisfaction of the sport. Starting from learning through play and growing into mature athletes is what makes the sport of figure skating so rewarding. Be involved in SPORT and many opportunities will arise! Happy Skating, Danalee Harrison
