Just wondering, how long should I wait before getting a private coach? I've heard the terms Basic 1 and Basic 5 but how long does it take to pass a "Basic"? haha! Or is it one of those things that just depend on the individual skater? 
Once again, thank you all so much.

It definitely depends on the individual. You'll know when it's time for a private coach--either you'll feel like the group is boring because the pace is too slow for you, or you'll feel like you're not getting things because you can't get enough individual attention from the teacher. Don't shirk practicing the very basic stuff over & over again though--ALL of skating is built off the basics!
