If you want to learn how to skate, you should sign up for some lessons at your local rink. Many rinks have learn to skate, or skate school programs for people to sign up.
People usually learn and do figure skating at an arena
If you don't like the competitive side of figure skating than do it recreationally. Then you wouldn't have to compete or if you decide you want to compete you still can. This is a great solution if you just want to learn jumps and spins but not compete.

Make a good reason why your leaving. Because you don't want to stay for a short program of figure skating.
You have to be 16 years old to teach figure skating. But you must also have to pass the level/test that you want to teach for example if i was on intermitted i can't teach senior move in the field or freestyle. If you just want to learn, there is no limit to how old you must be! Find a class for adults or children and get started. I hope i helped :)
my friends and i call it skating
You can train for figure skating at your town/city's arena. Training for figure Skating can vary. You need to learn the basics of the sport, the jumps and spins, and the stuff inbetween also known as foot work. Every skater is different. It may take longer for someone to land a simple axel jump than for another.
I love figure skating!!
Hockey is a team sport with skating in it, so for learning it, the process is more like learning to play soccer. Figure skating, to learn it, it's like a martial art, you learn specific things to do and try to learn to do them correctly and efficiently. So it would depend on what you'd consider harder, figure skating can take a really long time to "master" so in that sense it's harder, however if you have trouble working with a team, executing plays, and doing all the other skills hockey requires (puck handling, checking etc,) then hockey would be harder for you to learn.
