Some roller dance moves are interpreted differently by different people and the grapevine is certainly one of those.

It's really easy to forget your warm up and rush straight into skating, yet even just a few minutes can loosen your joints and help to protect you from injury. Think about working from top to toe so you isolate each part of the body. Start in your shoes and move to balancing while rolling - this is safer than staying on the spot. If you're limited for space, we always suggest you do your warm up off skates for safety.

Spinning is one of those skate tricks. That looks really cool! I always thought it was out of my reach until I'd been roller skating for a few years, but the truth is you just need to know about how to balance and position your body. You can start your journey to spinning once you have got control over forwards motion and you can stand still on the spot. After over 15 years of roller skating, I've broken down all the tips from the various teachers that I've learned from that have helped me to support other skaters who come to class learn to spin more quickly and effectively. Of course, if you're looking at continuing a spin for dozens of rotations, that is going to take a lot of practice!
