Roller Skates

Roller skating as a dance form has its roots in American rink culture from the 1970s and 80s. The dance is performed on quad roller skates and blends disco, funk and freestyle with movement on wheels. The style is built on rhythm, balance and floor feel.

The movements draw from jam skating, a discipline where dancers combine acrobatics, spins and footwork on skates to music. Roller skating has seen a major resurgence through social media and become a global movement that blends dance, fitness and creative expression.
