Our Story
We are two passionate sisters figure skaters and ice dancers who have been dedicated to the sport since we were four years old. As ice skaters, we have faced numerous challenges on the ice, such as the constant risk of injury from falls. The protective gear available on the market was either too bulky and heavy or not very effective, so we decided to take matters into our own hands.
With our mother’s support, we began designing and creating our own gear, such as training clothes, padding, and gloves, based on our experiences and feedback. Our products not only look elegant but also significantly reduce the risk of injury. We love our custom-made gear and feel much more confident on the ice because of it.
Recognizing how fortunate we are to have our parents' support in this expensive sport, we were deeply moved when we saw friends having to quit due to financial hardships; we wanted to make a difference. Inspired by the idea of giving back to the sport we love, we brainstormed with our family and decided to sell the figure skating gear we designed. Our goal was to use the profits to help other skaters in need, and this is how Skating Spirit was born!
As founders of Skating Spirit, we are involved in every step of the process. We model many of the products we sell, but only after thoroughly testing them to ensure they meet our high standards. We want to share only the best with our fellow skaters. Additionally, we contribute to many of the design ideas, making sure the products are both functional and fashionable.
One of the most stressful parts of preparing for a figure skating competition is finding the perfect dress. To alleviate this pressure for other skaters and their parents, we expanded our offerings from just protective gear and accessories to also include competition dresses.
Figure skating is not only a beautiful and fun sport but also one that promotes physical fitness, excellence, confidence, and a positive outlook on life. Our ultimate goal is to make figure skating accessible to anyone with the passion and desire to pursue it. To achieve this, we commit to donating most of our profits to ice skating-related nonprofit charity organizations that help remove social and economic barriers for skaters. This includes supporting everyone, from beginners to those aiming to compete at higher levels.
We are determined to make a positive impact on the skating community and to see our sport become more inclusive. With your support, we can help more skaters pursue their dreams on the ice.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
