More About Coach Megan

US Figure Skating registered Coach:
Junior Freestyle; Senior Gold Medal Moves in the Field; Silver Medal Ice Dance

Specializing in: Choreography, off-ice training, stretch and strengthening, conceptual show/showcase design and execution, grace and performance quality, power, basic skills, moves in the field, ice dance, administrative development for learn-to-skate programs, special needs instruction.

Starting her figure skating career at the age of 3, Megan Nordle was a highly decorated competitor before becoming a Professional USFS certified Coach at the age of 16. Miss Nordle chose to end her competitive career in skating in order help mold aspiring skaters like her mother (Director of SNHSC) as well as pursue her professional career in dance.
Megan took brief hiatus from coaching while she focused on earning her BFA in Dance Performance; Minor in Choreography and Pedagogy from The University of the Arts, while still continuing to perform in local skating shows. She additionally studied Pilates, Yoga, Gyrokinesis, and Human Anatomy. Armed with knowledge valuable to both low and high test skaters, Megan is passionate about helping to create a well rounded and educated skater.
Her philosophy is that the success of any Figure Skater can not rely wholly on on-ice abilities. As a professional dancer and skater with a very specific skill set, she is able to share and incorporate knowledge from a variety of different realms of artistic and athletic movement, and create specific and individualized training curriculum for each student, both on and off the ice.

Client Reviews

I had the pleasure of meeting Megan when I decided to take up figure skating last year. Not only is she a superb and talented skater/ choreographer, but she is a patient, motivating coach who challenges me to step outside my comfort zone. Since working with her I have gone from a recreational skater to a more refined technical skater, becoming more comfortable with intermediate to advanced skills. Her warm, bubbly personality makes learning something challenging fun! I highly recommend Megan as a coach and am grateful to be a part of her skating network.
Growing up watching the Olympics, I always dreamed I should’ve been a figure skater. There was never the time, money, or access to a rink where I grew up. It turns out it’s NEVER TOO LATE! I’m 33 yrs old and I am so excited to say I am finally figure skating!! I met Figure Skating Coach Megan Nordle, at Chelsea Piers this summer. She blew me away with her power, technique, and grace on the ice. I was first put in her adult group class, and was immediately inspired to work with Megan with more individualized coaching sessions. She’s literally the most supportive an proficient instructor I’ve ever had, in any discipline. I'm coming from a dance background, but I have so much to learn. We've been working hard for the past few months, and she was able train me to the point that I’m now at the level to be skating with an on ice theater company in NYC??! It’s unreal. It’s literally a dream come true. I own multiple event spaces in the city, so mornings have never been my forte. To my total surprise, since skating with Megan, I am up and at ‘em most mornings happily skipping all the way to the rink. She told me it would happen when we first started, but I never believed her: It’s become the best way to start my busy day. Working with Coach Nordle has also been the most dynamic, body changing work-out I’ve ever experienced. Does that sound crazy coming from someone who’s been dancing her whole life? But really… My legs are looking g-r-e-a-t :) I expected to enjoy skating from time to time as a hobby, but it’s become so much more than that for me. Skating has become the most exciting part of my day, and gives me the strength and unstoppable energy to own and manage both my businesses. It’s a lifestyle change I’m so proud of. Coach Megan Nordle’s got me doing incredible things on that ice. I am committed, focused, and ready for more. Gym membership: Cancelled.
