Session 1 of our Rollerdance Fundamentals Course was gorgeous last night! 🥰💖🛼

This week we started off by discussing roller dance styles, rink history and culture. We also covered connecting to music, finding a beat and counting steps 🎵

We worked on various stepping skills, weight transfer and balance, ending with learning the foundations of strut walking and downtown!💃

These sessions are aimed at those who can already skate (skate forwards, roll backwards, stop and stand still on the spot), but are ready to start learning moves and putting them to music. Each week we're covering various foundational moves such as downtown, dribbles and crab walk, so that you feel more confident joining other rollerdance sessions such as our regular Community Roller Dance classes starting at the end of the month. 🙌

If you'd like to join us for the rest of the course, we still have some space free on the 3 sessions block booking on the website!

If booking, it's advised to attend all 3 of the next sessions going forward so as to maximise the content on the course. Singular session bookings unavailable.

✨ 6pm - 7pm workshop at LS-TEN: This will be a lovely little recapping session covering all the fundamentals we've covered so far this year.
🛼These workshops are aimed at those wanting to gain knowledge, skills and confidence to be able to skate outside both in urban and trail environments.
🛼 Suitable for beginners and those less confident at outdoor skating.
🛼You don't need to have attended any of the other sessions to be able to come to this one!
🛼 It will take place outdoors in the back yard at LS-TEN.
🛼 Helmet required when skating at LS-TEN, however you can borrow one if you don't have your own.
🛼 Session costs £10 and is payable on the the door at the skatepark reception.

✨ 7.15pm Beginner friendly roll out: This will be a gentle guided roll out staring at LS-TEN carpark and ending at the Tetley/Aire Park.
🛼 Once at end destination, feel free and stay for a chill, jam and vibe.
🛼 I strongly recommend any beginners or less confident skaters wear protection, especially knee pads and wrist guards.
🛼 Skaters are also encouraged to wear toe stops when practicing the style of street skating I teach.
🛼 Bring water, bag for shoes, suncream if you need it, snacks if you get peckish!
🛼 Route is only a 10-15 minute walk, so feel free to join us on foot instead of skates if not ready for an outdoor trail yet!

DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ:
By attending the street skate, you have agreed to these terms and conditions.
All skaters take part at their own risk.
Any result in injury is at no fault of myself and all individuals must take full responsibility for themselves.
Skaters must act responsibly so as to minimise risk and danger.
If you appear to be struggling to the point where you may be putting yourself or others in danger, you may be asked to take your skates off and walk the route instead.

When on group roll outs, it's important we look out for each other and I always like to deploy a "buddy system" so that everyone is always accounted for!
