Level 3 and 4 - Intro to Artistic - 1 Hour Class - Hoxton
Skill Level 3 and 4. Over 18s who are confident roller skating forwards, backwards, turning and stopping.
Got your own skates? Curious to try Artistic roller skating?
Join us for a fun-packed 1 hour Intro to Artistic roller skating class, designed to introduce you to some of the techniques used in this discipline. You'll learn about artistic posture and presentation, try out an arabesque (or a scorpion if you're feeling brave), and get a taster for artistic-style spinning and jumping. Think figure skating on wheels! All in a safe and inclusive indoor space.
If you're looking for your next challenge and to add some flow and jumps to your skate game artistic is the place to be! The balance, control and precision you'll develop is transferrable to all disciplines of skating. We also run Artistic Roller Skating courses, if you want to explore this style further.
You will need toe-stops to get the most out of this class.
