About the event

OREGON: Train Stop Workshops: Dance and Derby!
About Dance and Derby!
Dance and Derby offers a one-of-a-kind workshop! Participants will learn to dance skate for enjoyment, challenge, and recreation. Focusing on learning core dance skating skills such as: Downtown, Cross-step, Crazy legs, Snake Walk, Pivoting. We will also cover finding "your bounce" in rhythmic skating and do a few Rhythmic Footwork Challenges. Classes may concentrate on a particular skill or include a group dance.

For roller derby skaters, this workshop enhances footwork while ensuring a good time! Freight Train will guide you in understanding how these skate dance moves are integrated into roller derby gameplay later in the day. The last 4 hours will be derby-focused. Roller derby skills being brought to life through music, coordination, and teamwork!
