Debonaires
The Debonaires, a synchronized ice skating team for adults, has been a part of the Ann Arbor Figure Skating Club for over twenty years. And, as such, follows the legacy of Dr. Richard Porter who established the nation's first synchronized ice skating team, Hockettes, in 1956 through the AAFSC.
Debonaires practice out of the Ann Arbor Ice Cube in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Team members cover a wide range of ages and include both male and female skaters. Each team member is respected not only as individuals, but also for their love of synchronized ice skating.
Adults interested in pursuing synchronized ice skating will discover this is a great way to have fun, make lasting friendships, and get some exercise in the process.
We welcome interested skaters to join us at practice.
