ROLLDANCE SKATE SCHOOL
Music, mooving, grooving all while rolling with 8 wheels on your feet? Yes Please!
But first, you need to know how to skate, right?
​
That's what Rolldance Skate School is all about - teaching you the fundamentals of roller skating so that you can then find your own groove and style.
​
Whether you want to skate down the boardwalk, at the roller disco or in your kitchen, skating can be done in more places than you expect!
​
If dancing isn't your thing, that's fine! The Learn To Skate programs equip you with the fundamentals so you can skate your way!
​

Stopping and ...Falling!
Not being able to stop is often the greatest fear for new skaters so it's one of the first things you will learn.
​
Falling is another not-ideal way to stop but it's a part of the sport so you will learn safe falling techniques from day 1.
My Story
You could say I'm just a little bit 'extra'....
My skating journey began not long after the peak of the Pandemic, when my previous passion, dancing and teaching Latin Dance (particularly Brazilian Zouk) petered out due to the lack of events and dance partners.
I was on the lookout for a new hobby, a new way to express my love of movement and music, and the Bruno Mars music video for his song "Skate" came on tv. I saw those gorgeous girls spinning and dancing on rollerskates and my eyes lit up - that was IT!
Now, I'm deep in, with 6 pairs of skates, hundreds of hours of practice under my belt, lots of new friends in real life and on Instagram, and a Skate Victoria Coach Certification.
I do tend to go ALL IN my hobbies, and love researching, analysing and generally getting obsessed - I am just a bit extra like that.
And because I am a trained Teacher, from a family of teachers, it became the natural next step to start passing on my love of this super fun sport!
YOUR TEACHERS
Jane Streeter
Owner and Chief Instructor
Although I've only been skating for a couple of years, I tend to attack new skills with extreme gusto! I have a recent dance background, teaching a few Latin dance styles in the Whitsundays so much of this knowledge has transferred over to skating.
​
I am a certified Recreational and Outdoor Skate Coach with Skate Victoria
​
I am a qualified high school teacher from a family of teachers, so mixing my rollerskating with teaching was inevitable!
​
My favourite move is to backwards dip around the rink to a slow jam.
Stella is my 13 year old daughter and saved up for her first skates not long after I bought my first pair.
​
She has a very caring nature and is excellent with the younger skaters.
​
Her favourite move is the "Z Eagle" where she shows off her crazy hip flexibility!
