Rollerdance

"Rollerdance" as I know it is basically as it sounds - dancing on skates. It provides a great workout and helps develop the muscles and skills used in roller derby in a completely different way.

It's nothing like figure skating. It's more like the kind of stuff you'd see people doing on skates at roller discos or in music videos... I'll be starting with some basics and progressing through a variety of skills, so all levels of capability/confidence will be catered for. It's all about having fun and the focus for me is to help develop people's confidence in a freestyle manner - it's not about routines or strict technique.

Rollerdance will test your balance and footwork in a completely different way to playing roller derby; but all of the footwork and balance that is developed through rollerdance will help make you a stronger, more confident skater. I strongly advocate developing footwork and overall confidence on skates for all levels of roller derby player; rollerdance is a fun but challenging way of building up these skills. It can also come in very handy to have a few moves up your sleeve if you ever find yourself at a roller disco!
