Rhythm 101 Workshop Series

Service Description

Rhythm skating is a super fun, forward moving and flowing form of dance skating that occurs on the outside ring of the rink in tandem with music. This style of skating can be applied to outdoor path skating with the use a fun little speaker! The good new is: You do not need a background in dance or extensive background in rollerskating to enjoy these workshops!!! All you need is a desire to unlock some inner rhythm! Connection with music is essential to the rhythm skating process, therefore, it is at the forefront of all workshops that I teach. In this progressive workshop series, we will explore music, dance and rollerskating - how they relate to one another and how we can combine them in a personal way to access our own rhythm style. Each workshop will have three components - a basic breakdown of musical theory and understanding, an exploration of music and dance, and a break down of various fundamental dance/skate moves/techniques. I provide detailed information and resources for you to access and to practice between each workshop. My goal is to teach skaters to: 1. Listen more deeply to the music they connect with 2. Build muscle memory for more advanced dance skating 3. Learn dance/skate fundamentals of rhythm skating that I use for my style 4. Introduce JB and ATL rhythm history and style. You will be challenged to find your own dance moves by workshop 3 and apply them to your skating practice by workshop 5 - which will require vulnerability and courage! Each workshop will be tailored and adjusted to accommodate changes - making room for flexibility and flow. I look forward to seeing you all lost in your music, flowing in your own way, and tapping into creativity!!! Let's build a Vancouver Rhythm Style together! $40 per workshop x 5 workshops (2hrs) = 200$
