for basic lessons, you will need skates, gloves, a jacket, and cloths you can move in. small children sometimes wear helmets and snowpants.

for competitive skaters, you need a practice dress [for girls] or practice outfit [for guys] good skates, a warm up jacket, thing mittens, tights, knee high tights [used as socks], water bottle, kleenex, skate guards, soakers, a washcloth to dry your skates, and the music for your program.
For figure skating you need:

1. A jacket or fleece: its important to stay warm while skating.

2. Figure skates: proper skates are needed to do jumps. NO HOCKEY SKATES.

3. long socks: not knee high socks, just socks that go above your skates. (otherwise you`ll get blisters)

4. Yoga pants or other stretchy pants: no jeans, you need room to stretch tight pants aren`t good.

5. Pony tail or bun: if you`re a girl, you`ll need to tie your hair up or your hair will fall in your face while you spin.

6. Skate guards: protect you blades or they`ll get dull.

7. A bag: to put your skates in.

8. Gloves: keep your hands warm.

9. Water bottle: figure skating is hard work so you will probably get thirsty.

10. A cloth: to dry your skates when you finish skating.
