ROLL WITH SOUL™  | PRIVATE LESSONS

Whether you just need the basics or you want to learn something specific, I am available for private lessons at by appointment.

My philosophy is a bit different from those who teach variations on “roller dance.” I don’t teach routines or steps, my goal is to teach you core fundamentals that help unlock the skills that help you move YOUR body the way that feels good to YOU. Who wants to look just like everyone else anyway?

(NOTE: The originator creator and teacher of the popular “Rollerdance” step routines is San Francisco legend, Richard Humphrey. Please support original black creators and accept no imitators.)

Most private lessons are scheduled at the Church of 8 Wheels, but I can also serve the BayArea/Peninsula area if you have a flat, smooth skating area.
Off-site locations can be determined during scheduling.

RATES – 1HR LESSON

  • $50.00 PER PERSON
    (At the Church of 8 Wheels or LOCAL within 10 miles of San Mateo) – You must bring your own skates and pads*
  • + 10 miles outside San Mateo – please email me with your desired location for rates.
  • Beginner Group Lessons are also available – please email me with details for rates.

NOTE: Private lessons scheduled at The Church of 8 Wheels may also require a $10 fee for skates and safety gear if you do not have your own.

* Helmet, elbow, and knee pads are required during class for your safety and as a condition of our insurance.

To register for a PRIVATE LESSON, please send an email indicating which date you’d like to schedule and what you’d like to learn.

  1. Hi!

    Hope you’re doing well and staying healthy.

    I was wondering if you had any idea when you would be starting lessons again.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks!
    Sylvia

    • Thank you for inquiring about skate lessons. As much as I want to start teaching again, given the current risks and recommendations, it will likely be closer to summer 2021 before beginning again. (If all goes well.)
