DESCRIPTION: You might be curious if this is something you would like to do, and just want to get started to see if you like roller skating, or possibly you are someone that's just ready to receive instruction so you can safely add more skills at a pace that feels right, this is your class!  This is the ultra-basic course you've been waiting for! Welcome to Learn to Roller Skate Level 1.  HI! My name is Elaine.  I am the Co-Founder of Retro Rollers Inc, and your roller skate Instructor!  I'm excited to teach you how to safely slow down and stop, stride, transition and touch on backwards skating all while building your confidence and understanding how to utilize your body to move gracefully. In addition to those skills, knowing how to poise yourself to keep your balance in check, and even catch your balance to prevent falls.  We have you covered!  If you are super nervous, it is very recommended to bring safety gear.  We recommend wrist guards, helmet, elbow and knee pads - or at least at minimum wrist and helmet protection.  You will be happy you did!

Caution, this class will improve all your roller skating skills! All levels of skating are welcome.  Please don't worry about not being the greatest skater.  YOU are welcome, and we will have fun no matter what.  Modifications are always used so that all participants feel included.
