About Roller Dance Fundmentals by The Skate Scholarship 

This class is a foundation class for complete beginner ROLLER DANCERS. This is not a learn to skate course, it’s a learn to roller dance course (e.g. essential is that you can stand on skates, roll forwards, backwards and stop).  Join us to get you started with dancing on skates.

We have created this course to give you the foundations of Roller Dance – which you will need for Roller Dance and Rhythm Skating. We will cover balance, rhythm and key moves you will need like strut, downtown, c-step and beginner spins. We ask you to complete this course before joining in with Community Roller Dance, this is to help you to get the most out of Roller Dance Lessons and to make it easier to pick up routines.

About Community Roller Dance by The Skate Scholarship 

Roller Dance is a type of roller skating that has been around for decades. Community Roller Dance Sessions are a friendly, no-pressure space to learn the art of roller dance together. We cater for beginners and more advanced skaters. You must be able to stand still on skates, go forward and stop safely.  We will learn basic steps from Downtown, Zero, Strut Walk, to learning routines as a group.

We vary between learning skate skills for roller dance, routines and dances. This term we will alternate between structured Taught Lesson and a Skill Share Session. The taught lessons are more structured, whilst the skill share sessions are more free, but there is still a coach available for questions:

What to Wear

You need to have your own roller skates with or without toestops for this class. If you want to do roller dance fundamentals and don’t have your own roller skates please email us on info@theskatescholarship.com and we will assess on a one to one basis whether we can lend you roller skates.

Wear comfortable clothing, no flaring trousers that can caught into roller skate wheels.
