I did this clinic about 3 years ago (maybe 4?). Ours had a separate adult track. It was a blast and well worth the $ (even if I did have to put up with the women going on and on and ON and ON about how "hot" Zimmerman is! :-)).

Jealous, Gordon? (J/K)...

Maybe we could send kander over to this camp so they'll have more men drooling over Silvia Fontana to balance out the women drooling over Zimmerman!!!

I haven't done that camp, but John and Silvia led a spin class last year at the Hackensack camp that I thought was the best class of the whole camp. Like most women, I have always found John Z. irresistibly hot, so I was really surprised when I ended up falling in love with Silvia instead (no, not like that )! She is not only a great teacher, but she is incredibly supportive and enthusiastic about teaching adults. I never would have guessed I could learn a pancake spin, but now I have one, thanks to Silvia. But for those who are wondering, John is wonderful, too.

It's good to hear this is a good clinic!! I'll pass the word on at the Rinx. Some skaters are tentative about doing it. Unfortunately I can't do this one. But I am going to do some of the ice dance clinics on Wednesday.
