Beata Handra &
Charles Sinek
…………………

 U.S. ice dancers, Beata Handra and Charles Sinek, have been skating together for the past seven years. Handra from San Francisco and Sinek from Boston paired up in 1995 and eventually moved to Rockland County, New York to train at Sport-o-rama under four-time Latvian Champion and Olympic-level coach, Inese Bucevica.   

The couple’s success at six U.S. National Championships earned them positions on the U.S. Figure Skating Team.  As veteran U.S. Team members, Handra and Sinek have competed internationally at various ISU Grand Prix events, such as Skate America, Skate Canada, and several Four Continents Championships. They also were selected to compete at two more Grand Prix events this past season, Cup of Russia in St. Petersburg and Nation’s Cup in Germany. 

The biggest highlight of the duo’s competitive career was representing the United States at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games held in Salt Lake City this past February.  Being part of the U.S. Olympic Team was a shared lifetime dream this married couple was finally able to fulfill together. 

Beata and Charles have recently relocated to the Albany area where they are now giving private and group lessons in the area’s many local rinks. They teach skaters of all ages and levels from tots to adults and beginners to elite competitors.
