Have you been searching far and wide for a chill space to work on any roller dance skills that pick your fancy?

The Skate Sanctuary is a safe place providing a pressure free environment so like-minded skaters have the chance to connect whilst having a bit of a groove. No matter what skill level you may class yourself as, you're invited, come and say hello.

Cleaning skates can be incredibly satisfying but we understand that not everyone has had the chance to learn how to go about this. Remember that you can't know what you don't know. Bring some questions with you and let's learn how to get them skates looking sparkly new again, it's easier than you may think!



 

It's TUESDAY and time to get your moves ready for a Discover roller dance class from 6.30 - 8.00 pm! We love roller dance and want everyone to be given the chance to experience this thrilling way of moving.


Our discover roller dance classes are the gentlest of all our roller dance classes. With no previous dance experience needed, allow us to introduce you to some dandy skills and techniques that we've developed over many years.



 

This WEDNESDAY we're continuing with our new monthly focus for our Roller dance skills focus and flow session, drum roll please... The Downtown! Being such a widely known move, we're excited to be practicing it with you. Feel like having some fun, working on your balance and learning some groovy moves all which can be achieved in a tiny space? This class might just be the perfect one for you! What are you waiting for, come on down to The Skate Sanctuary from 6.30 - 8.30 pm and master your flow.



 

It's THURSDAY and we're once again met with two different open level practices... Roller girl gang invites you to a safe space for all, a space which only has room for spreading the love. Thursday open level practice (all ages) is a chance for all ages to work on developing those roller dance skills in a supportive environment and a lovely community. It's all about what works for you; on or off skates, connect with other skaters and no coaches. Come on down from 6.00 - 7.30 pm.



If you're looking for an even more chill place to wind-down and do your thing on skates, we have a later session from 7.30 - 9.30 as a result of our late closing times on Thursdays. This session is 17+ only.



THURSDAY doesn't end there, let's step outside into the sun for an outdoor confidence for less experienced skaters workshop. I'm sure many of us have been there, seeing others glide around so elegantly outdoors that before you know it your lacing you boots up filled with determination... If you dream of skating care-free and confidently outside, but have realized skating outside is a completely different experience, then join us for this workshop from 6.30 - 8.00 pm!


Confidence plays a bit part in all our skating journeys, we want to help you build that up to enjoy doing the things you love with ease.



 

It's finally FRIDAY and it's time to turn up the music for the esteemed Friday night social. Come and skate, have a chat, meet other skaters in the community and unwind! We love meeting new faces and appreciate those that return. With our amazing skate marshals always on hand, yours and others safety are always ensured so that everyone can have a great time! From 7.30 - 10.00 pm, let's enjoy them summer evenings whilst they're here!



 

Prepare yourself, we've got lot's to look forward to on SUNDAY. We're kicking things off with our family friendly learn n' roll. All ages and abilities are welcome and we even have a small amount of space for accompanying non-skating partners. Expect old school disco vibes and enjoy being able to roll around a larger indoor space.


If your aiming to learn a new move or want some help getting started, a section of the hall will be designated for practicing and moving slowly. The remainder of the hall is set out like a drink to skate to your hearts content! Get them moves ready, let's skate together from 2.30 - 4.00 pm.



Next up on SUNDAY is our beginner roller skate class! From 4.00 - 5.30 pm. We warmly welcome those who are starting their roller skate journey to learn something new with our fabulous instructors. Please keep in mind that skills can take months to learn and develop, but that's part of what makes it worth it, right? That amazing feeling once you've finally cracked going backwards or a new way of stopping, the list goes on!



Our final event this SUNDAY is a fun one... We're bringing the summer festival buzz with our summer skate workshop: Festival vibes and party tricks. For skaters who have fundamental skills and wish to carry on improving, let's learn some different and thrilling new tricks!
