Jessica Melton is a Colorado Native who grew up skating at the old Highland Hills Ice Arena. She skated competitively for 9 years and achieved the highest level in figure skating (Senior Level) in Freestyle and Moves in the Field. Jessica trained under the instruction of national and international coaches including Eddie Shipstad, Barbara Roles-Williams, Ronald Ludington, Gordon McKellan, and Janet Champion. Her training encompassed all disciplines of the sport including, figures, freestyle, moves in the field, ice dancing, pairs, and synchronized skating. After her competitive career, she was recruited by Bietak Productions to perform a principal role in the first ice show at sea on Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas cruise ship. Jessica skated on the cruise ship for a year, then skated in a principal role for Disney on Ice and toured the United States; after that she spent 4 months in Thailand in the touring show, “Star on Ice”. She began assisting with Learn to Skate at an early age; in 1999 Jessica became a member of the Professional Skaters Association whereupon she began teaching private lessons and has recently become a Technical Specialist and Data Operator for US Figure Skating. Jessica Melton is proud to be on the Professional Figure Skating Coaching Staff and call the Ice Center at the Westminster Promenade her coaching home.

I love the sport of figure skating and enjoy working with competitive and recreational skaters. Seeing the happiness my students feel when they learn something new or accomplishing a goal they have set for themselves makes me proud to be a coach. My mission as a figure skating coach is to pass on my knowledge and love of the sport to the future generation of athletes.

In 6th grade I wrote in my yearbook that when I grew up I wanted to be a Professional Ice Skating Coach. Even at a young age I knew I loved the sport of figure skating; it is truly a passion of mine and I hope that I can pass that enjoyment of the sport to every student I teach.
