🗣️TONIGHT: COMMUNITY ROLLER DANCE! 🛼💃
✨Slow set edition!✨

These guys didn't have to ask me twice when they requested a full lesson based on my favourite part of any roller disco! 🌶️

This week we'll be exploring all things around smooth, slow, flow!
I'll be breaking down dips, wheel to floor contact, how to travel around the rink like water and getting your moves buttery smooth and flowing into one another. 🔥

Last session we broke down infinity swirls and laid the foundations for dipping, so expect more of that vibe this evening 👀

Beginners welcome! However we recommend that you can already skate forwards, roll backwards, stop, and stand on the spot. 🛼

📍 Yorkshire Dance, Studio 1
🕕 6:30pm - 8pm
🎟️ Book via the .skate.scholarship website

We've been absolutely loving our Burley Park Roll family sessions 🥹🌞

Join us every Saturday until the 23rd May 11am - 12pm in Burley Park (meeting point by the bandstand) for FREE skating including coaching and kid's equipment to borrow! 🛼✨

We've been getting a big turn out each week, so equipment is first come first served!

Big love to , Grace, and all our extra helpers for supporting these sessions 🙏

Let's talk about anxiety affecting our skating...

Recently, I've noticed a surge in people reaching out to me regarding nervousness around joining a skate session.
And an overwhelming amount of those people are dealing with anxiety.

Some people may find being in a classroom environment stressful or triggering.

Some people find skateparks intimidating or unwelcoming environments.

Some may get anxious before a roll out if they are unsure of the route or nervous about skating in unpredictable environments.

Some people get anxious thinking about the social pressures and having to talk to people at a skate session.

If any of this resonates with you, please know we will do our best to support you.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, there is no pressure to join in with the class and if you'd rather just utilise the space to do your own thing, you won't be judged.

If you're nervous about going to skateparks or skating outside, join one of our free Skate Scholarship sessions so you can get comfortable through guidance and community.

If you'd rather wear headphones on the roll out and avoid small talk, nobody will mind.

If you ever feel uncomfortable or past your comfort zone, please speak to me about how I can make you feel confident and safe.

Most skaters will have felt like an imposter at some point. (Including myself!)
Please know you are never an imposter at any of my sessions, your attendance is so valued.

Every single person who rolls with us is contributing towards doing what we love: skating with our community.
I am continually humbled and grateful to every single person who I skate with, no matter their skill level or experience.

If you're dealing with anxiety around attending a skate session, feel free to speak to me about how I can make you feel safe and supported.

My DMs are always open x
