Skill Level 1: Over 18s who are new to roller skating or want to build confidence on their wheels.

Join us for a fun-packed 6 consecutive weeks of weekly, one-hour classes to get you rolling confidently. In this Learn to Skate course our instructors will teach you to roller skate forwards, backwards and stop in a safe and inclusive indoor space.

- How to roller skate forwards and backwards.
- How to stop.
- How to fall safely.
- Changing direction, turning corners and avoiding obstacles.
- Maybe a cheeky spin or dance move so you can show off at the roller disco.
You must bring your own quad roller skates, protective wrist guards and knee pads. We are unable to teach you without these for your safety.
