Intermediate Roller Skate classes - Decathlon 

Day: Saturdays

Time: 12pm - 1.15 pm

Level: Intermediate

Session Intro

These intermediate roller skate classes will be held regularly on Saturdays at Decathlon, Surrey Quays. This course will focus on Improving your confidence in transitions, turns and backwards skating, as well as building your core jam skate skill set. This will be an intermediate series, not quite as challenging as the Flow Class, to help you increase your confidence and refine your skating. You should already have some techniques for skating forwards, backwards, turning, transitioning and stopping, either having taken a Beginners' course with me or another club or instructor. 

We will work on both Jam skating and travelling moves and transitions. Building up our repertoire and focusing on a holistic way of skating to use our bodies and feet to feel balanced and starting to flow as we skate. Moves will be introduced in stages, allowing you to hold and work on refining an element or push yourself to the next level.

If you are unsure about your level you can drop in on a single session and see how you get on and we can adjust from there. 

What is Jam skating

Jam skating, also known as rhythm skating in the US, is a contemporary dance skate style. It's all about moving to the beat and developing your unique flow on wheels. While still a developing scene in the UK, it's gaining popularity, and you'll often see jam skaters at the centre of the rink, expressing themselves with intricate footwork and smooth transitions. Principles of jam skating can also help with other parts of your skating such as balance and transitions and general skate flow. 

What you'll Learn

Our sessions will guide you through key dance moves and core principles, equipping you with the skills to join in, create your own routines, and feel confident in your technique. Each week, we’ll work through new moves as well as recap routines from previous classes, depending on the interests of those in attendance. With small group sizes, you'll receive plenty of individualised feedback alongside group instruction.

Your Instructor

You'll be in excellent hands! I've been teaching roller skating two to three times a week for over three years and have also developed some of the most popular online skate tutorials. My extensive practice and dedication to refining my own technique and style mean you'll have an experienced guide to kickstart your jam skate journey.
