Workshops for skaters who have already learnt the fundamentals and wish to continue learning

These sessions are designed to help you progress on your roller skating journey, by introducing new skills and practising and refining skills you already have.

This session will aim to help you find your groove on roller skates.  The class will operate at 2 skill levels, so even if you have never roller danced before you'll be able to join in at a level you are comfortable with, providing you already have some skate skills:

To get the most from this session, we suggest you can already:

roll forwards and lemon / bubble

starting to roll backwards

can stop with some control

can fall safely

starting to turn

What will we learn?

We will cover a range of roller dance moves, from line dances, routines we have choreographed to just feeling more comfortable grooving whilst rolling

The ability level for this class is very very wide,  we will help you identify your next steps for progression.

Emphasis in this class is on good technique

Growth mindset in our skaters is encouraged - this class is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, however all exercises are optional.

Many of these skills will likely take months or years to perform confidently on a range of surfaces and from high speed - this class gives you the opportunity to practise with coaching support.

What is the difference between a “Practise session” and the other classes you run?

A practise session contains a rink area to skate in an anti-clockwise direction and a cone area will be available for practise throughout the session.  This is a session for you to practise independently.

Classes are structured sessions and are designed to take you through progression of skills - see the separate class descriptions for more details on what the class will cover.

How do I find the venue?

The Ramgarhia Sikh Sports Centre is near Sheepscar Interchange on Chapeltown road. Drive in through the ornate gates and up the slope to the sports hall at the back of the site.

There is plenty of free parking outside the front of the sports centre. Bus stops are right outside the gate.

Please wait in the hallway outside the sports hall until invited in, as we will be finishing the earlier class.
