About The Event
This class will have a monthly focus to deep dive into a particular movement set, including as many variations as we know and can create! Suitable for most levels - you decide which level you're comfortable to work at.
Each class will build on skills from the previous week throughout the month, however, just come when you can!
This class is suitable for folks who have some roller dance experience - However, you are still welcome to attend, just understand that the pace of the class will pick up during the month. The first couple of sessions will be more fundamentals based, which will then be built on through the month.
If the class feels too intense for you, you are welcome to join in without skates. Roller dance is very challenging!
Why do we love roller dance so much?
It fosters a sense of belonging when folks are able to dance together. Roller dance is incredibly powerful and we have had the privilege of being in spaces where skaters don't speak the same language, but are able to join in with the same steps in dance.
It supports fantastic footwork and technique that will support all other forms of roller skating. Especially balance.
It doesn't require a lot of room, so you can practise in a smaller space - like The Skate Sanctuary!
It's great fun.
It's a fabulous warm up
You will become a more confident skater and learn to be more patient with yourself.
Skate Hire
Skate hire is available from the front desk for £3 per session - you can pay by cash or card
Drinking water is available and we have a selection of hot and cold refreshments for sale.
What size hire skates do I need?
We recommend you ask for your regular shoe size. If you try skates on and they're not right for you, we are happy to swap them. Our skate hire is available in full sizes only, from UK 3 - UK 15. You no longer need to book a specific ticket to tell us what size you require.
I have a Skate Pass, do I still need to book?
Yes, please still book your spot for this class and have your digital Skate Pass ready to show at check-in. Please remember that if you are not able to make it, our cancellation policy does still apply.
Can I bring my own refreshments?
Yes of course. We want to keep this skate space alcohol free, so ask you do not bring alcohol to consume on the premises, including the car park. If you bring your own water bottle, we are able to refill this for you for free. We also have a small selection of soft drinks for sale. Should you spill your drink, please let a marshall know straight away. Please make sure you are not eating and drinking while you skate, that includes chewing gum.
I wear inline skates, can I come?
Yup. We welcome all wheely-booted folks.

Absolutely! The Skate Sanctuary was founded and is run by women, with the support of our fantastic volunteer team, to provide better access to roller skating for all genders and identities, especially marginalised folks.
