Skate Flow with Owen (16+)

Service Description

Skate Flow classes are friendly and fun sessions for skaters ready to smooth and improve their dance groove skills, ran and assisted by our lovely members Owen and Sonja! Develop building blocks to give your skate flows a firm foundation, such as: - Finding and locking your feet to the beat - Basic steps to link into stylish sequences - Styling it out! - A few cheeky challenges to (gently!) push you on! Skates let you express rhythm and flow when moving to music. When doing this with a partner or a group of friends the energy really booms. Flow skating will explore jams and dance grooves that deepen your relationship with rhythm. Owen grew up on wheels, and was even busted at 14 for roller-blading across his school roof! (Putting the roller boot into Bootle!) After 20 years street and park (ramp) skating on inlines, Owen tried quad skates and never looked back. A truck driver by day (and night!), Owen is also a guitar teacher; and skating combines his professional love for movement and music! Sonja got into skating through North Wales roller derby in 2016 and soon joined her teammates at skateparks too. In 2021 @merseyskatefriends introduced her to the IWF jam skaters, she was instantly inspired by the stylish moves. “The flowing footwork has been such an addictive discovery... the possibilities seem endless and that’s so exciting. As a drummer too, I adore the way jam skating is so deeply connected to music! Skating with Owen I’ve learnt so much about flow, flair and getting creative with your own routines."
