Afro Fusion Off-Skates Workshop & Disco 17+

We find lots of roller skaters are feet-focussed and miss out on the enjoyment of using their arms and upper body to support and embrace the full dance experience.

We have hesitation about fully and freely expressing ourselves for lots of reasons! Including not knowing how or where to get started.

Don't worry - Roller Girl Gang are here to offer you carefully selected guest teachers, known and loved by our team, to support specific movements.

All our workshops are off-skates. Our dance teachers are not necessarily skaters, and we know it is easier to learn without being worried that you may fall over.

Following the workshop, you will have an opportunity to continue to dance and explore the moves, either on or off skates as we flip our studio into disco-mode! We expect folks adding skates to their flow to move with consideration of others - no fast laps in the studio thanks ;)
