SkateDance (or Jam skating) is the latest craze, it’s fun, keeps you fit and helps all aspects of your skating. dancepageExpand your skating repertoire to include moves which fit to any music and have the ‘wow’ factor. Would you like your transitions from forwards to backwards and vice versa to become smooth and effortless?  Skatefresh’s new SkateDance classes will  deliver just that and much more.

SkateDance teaches you a series of progressively more difficult dance steps which can be linked into short routines easily by the end of every class. As dance steps become more difficult, it becomes impossible to avoid backwards manoeuvres but the low speeds make this ideal for improving your backwards, transitions and crossovers. Over the series of classes you will be guided through static walks, sideway steps, dynamic walks, moonwalks, pivots, spirals, crossing moves, spins, jumps and more. All SkateDance classes are taught by Asha.
