Jacqueline Kiefer has been a qualified Swiss skating coach since 1987 and for several years now, she has been a Master coach of the PSA (Professional Skaters Association of America). In 1990, she became a member of the technical commission of the SELV (Swiss Skating Teacher Association); since 2002 she is their president.

Jacqueline Kiefer advises and educates Swiss skating coaches.

She began teaching in Berne (Switzerland) in 1984 and has been coaching Swiss top skaters and members of the national squad ever since. Since the day I took my very first steps on the ice at the age of 6, I’ve been coached by Jacqueline Kiefer: back then when I was still slipping on the ice, as now that I am competing with the top senior skaters in the world. However, she has not only taught me how to skate, but she also takes care of me at competitions and helps managing my career.

From Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands to Slovenia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia, Denmark, Finland and Norway; from the States and Canada to Russia, China and Japan: it was in those countries that Jacqueline Kiefer has taken care of me once or even several times during training camps, has come along with me to competitions and has supported me all the way. Therefore, I want to thank her sincerely.

Michèle Colberg, 25/10/1943 choreographer Michèle Colberg was also a competitive figure skater and became Belgian junior champion when she was 13 years old. Later on, she skated as a soloist in the Deutschen Eistheater (German ice theatre), the Wiener Eisrevue (Vienna ice revue) and “Holiday on Ice”. Michèle Colberg, who is an expert in spins and choreography, has been teaching in Berne (Switzerland) since 1987. Like Jacqueline Kiefer, she coaches Swiss top skaters and members of the national squad. Michèle Colberg taught me my very first scratch spin as well as the flying sit spin, and she also choreographs all of my programmes. Merci beaucoup!
