Dance & Freestyle 1
Skate Lesson
Welcome to Freestyle & Dance 1, where you'll take your longboarding to a whole new level of style and creativity! This class is designed for riders who are ready to explore the world of freestyle and dance, focusing on smooth footwork, balance, and fluid movements to transform your board into a canvas for self-expression.
In Freestyle & Dance 1, we’ll cover the essential techniques that make freestyle and dancing on a longboard unique. You’ll learn how to perform basic tricks like cross-stepping, shuvits, and slides, as well as transitions and spins that flow seamlessly together. We’ll work on developing your rhythm, timing, and coordination to make your movements look effortless, while also building a solid foundation for more advanced skills.
A key focus will be on foot placement and weight distribution, as these are crucial for performing dance-style manoeuvres and freestyle tricks with control. We’ll help you refine your balance and posture to ride confidently through various routines and tricks.
You’ll also start incorporating style into your rides - freestyle and dance are as much about creativity as they are about technique. As you progress, you'll be able to string tricks together and flow from one move to the next, making your longboarding a beautiful, expressive performance.
By the end of this class, you’ll have mastered the foundational skills needed to move confidently through freestyle and dance longboarding. Get ready to have fun, express yourself, and bring a new level of creativity to your riding!
