What Is DNA Training?

DNA Training is a small company based in San Francisco, California that provides private ice-skating instruction from professional Don Corbiell.

DNA Training provides high quality instruction to all levels of figure skaters.  Whether you are a competitive skater, a recreational skater, a youngster or an adult you have come to the right place.   I will train you with correct technique to help you achieve your skating goals whatever they may be.

My Approach To Teaching

Just as people must learn to count before they can add and subtract, it is imperative to learn correct fundamentals in skating in order to progress.  I believe that building a strong foundation with the basics in skating is the best way to achieve lasting results.  This also adds to the enjoyment and safety of skating.  I teach in a fun, positive manner, as I also believe that the learning experience should be enjoyable.

Where I Teach

I teach at the Yerba Buena Ice Skating and Bowling Center, San Francisco's newest jewel located atop the Moscone Convention Center.  This facility is centrally located in the newly developed Yerba Buena Gardens.  The three story glass windows of the ice rink offer breathtaking views out onto Yerba Buena Gardens and the San Francisco skyline, making your skating experience like no other!

Should you decide to work with DNA Training, I will set up a meeting in person with you and provide you with a copy of my information packet that all new clients receive.  This packet of information provides all of the policies I follow and should also address any other questions you may have.  Of course, I also want to hear about any concerns you may have.  I will then also discuss exactly what your skating goals are and what I feel would be the best approach with your lessons.
