Raising champions since 1961
Called at that time the Bondi Junction Ice Dance and Figure Skating Club, the Club changed its name to the Sydney Figure Skating Club when it moved to the newly opened Burwood Glaciarium in 1964.
Over nearly 50 years, the Club has had many members who have gone on to represent Australia at international, World and Winter Olympic events.
