ROLLERVENTURE with Dylan Morton
D. Morton Skate Nation Presents: ROLLERVENTURE, A tale of 3 Countries and 10 Cities!
“What’s up y’all its ya boy Dylan Morton and I’m excited to be back on the road spreading my love and passion for skating through my roller skating workshops! Last year I was fortunate to be able to travel to 14 countries and teach to over 400+ skaters and I’m excited to get back on the road again! I want you to feel well equipped about what is offered in each workshop.
I taught my first roller skating workshop when I was 14 years old and ever since then I have fallen in love with teaching. I also began training as well as teaching dance and tumbling when I was 15 years old and continued until I was 18. Today, all I do is teach, literally. It has become ingrained into everything I do with roller skating and I’m fortunate to be able to share my passion with every skater I can.
My workshops are built off of discipline and foundation. For each movement discussed I will break it down to the base and build our way up. My intention with skate workshops is that you leave with a clear understanding of the structure needed to grow into the best skater you want to be. Get ready to work and most of all have fun.” – Dylan Morton
