Funky Formation Fridays - All levels 18+

All levels welcome to join us at the Skate Sanctuary. Absolute beginners are welcome. This is not a big space, so speed laps are not allowed!

We encourage skaters using the space to connect with other participants. This is not a coached session.

We strongly suggest you pre-book to avoid disappointment as the sanctuary is a smaller space and tickets are limited.

This new session is part roller dance class, part disco. We'll be learning some popular line dances and some of or old favourite routines on skates. New skaters can learn the moves and join in whilst wearing shoes so this session is suitable for all levels.

Skate hire is available from the front desk for a small fee - you can pay by cash or card

Come and skate, have a chat, meet other skaters in the community and unwind!

Drinking water is available and we have a selection of hot and cold refreshments for sale. Please support us by purchasing our snacks and drinks. Outside food is not permitted in The Skate Sanctuary.

Everyone attending our Shuffle session will require a ticket. We are happy to accomodate dancers in either shoes or skates :)

Video Etiquette

We are happy for skaters to take progress video for their personal reflection, however we ask you keep filming to a minimum. If you wish to film for extended periods of time, please consider booking our studio privately.

I have never roller skated before - is this session for me?

We welcome folks of all skill levels, including folks with very little or no experience. We are more than happy to give you tips to get started, but are not able to provide any kind of tuition beyond this. Please come to one of our coach led classes if you'd like a better breakdown of movements.

Please note; as the Skate Sanctuary is a smaller space, so you will be unable to do "laps" of the room and there will be no speed skate during this session.

The Skate Santuary provides roller skate lessons, events and parties in our studio in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. We also hold fortnightly Roller Discos at Ramgarhia Sports Centre and are available to hold private disco and workshops at your venue.
