How much education does a pro figure skater need to be a pro figure skater?

It really depends on how you define 'education'. Do you mean practice, or private tutoring, or group tutoring?

The best tutoring will be private, as you can have a good 1-on-1 session with your tutor and hopefully learn quite fast; I started with group lessons first though; you can learn the basics there and then pay more for private lessons when you move onto more advanced stuff.

You will need at least 1 private session a week. 1 group is also fine if you're starting out.

Then, when you get more advanced, start increasing the amount of tutoring you have, and start attending practice sessions on your own at the ice rink to consolidate what you've learned.

When you're getting better, it can even add up to 10 hours a week. I know an international figure skater when spends roughly 14 hours a week skating! She misses some school, but this is slightly drastic. You can be good without going to international level. (:

Remember, this doesn't come without a high price and a lot of devotion to the sport! I will definitely suggest off-ice practice, or even ballet classes just to increase flexibilty gradually for when you will need it.

Google 'beillman spiral', and you'll see what I mean when I say that you'll need flexibility! (I practiced the splits for 4 months, 3 times a day, and I can now do it! This helps the beillman, which I can also now do.)

Hope this helped. (:

Average cost of sound system in roller skating rink?

Single, center-mounted array would be the best. So all the speakers hang in the middle of the room and face outwards. Line array would be the best option.

Place the subs in the corners of the room. We call it loading. So four corners then at least four subs, one in each corner. Might need more if you want more bass/low end.

Another cost would be treating the room so that the sound doesn't echo. Carpets on the walls etc. You don't want the sound echoing.

NB: Rather treat a room properly first time and build up the sound system. You don't need speakers everywhere as that's costly. In this application a center mounted array 9/10 times will be the best.

Some companies will try sell you loads of speakers as this equals more profit. Go for a company that doesn't try sell you all their stock.

Where are the stores that sells ice skates in the Philippines?

Apparently there is no Ice Skating Specialty store in the Philippines. There are small stores beside the Ice Skating rinks at both mall -- MOA and Southmall.

Should you wish to buy, you may either look through online shops or 2nd hand and surplus shops around the metro. My best bet though would be ask assistance from your Ice Skating coach re buying your skates.
