This lesson covers the essential fundamentals of roller skating—skills that form the foundation for everything you’ll learn and do on skates. These basics, including rolling forward, bubbles, stops, and balance-focused moves like the Shoot the Duck.
Each move is broken down with detailed explanations and followed by step-by-step follow-along practice sessions. This ensures that everyone can progress at their own pace and master these foundational skills with confidence.
It’s important to spend enough time mastering these fundamentals before moving on to more advanced tricks. Understanding why and how each movement works will give you the stability and precision needed to progress.
Clear Explanations
For every new skill, you’ll get a detailed explanation from me. I’ll show you how it works step by step and highlight the most important details.
Guidance During Practice

Hi, I’m Patrizia
I’ve been teaching roller skating for about two years now. My biggest takeaway? Basics are everything.
In the beginning, I neglected these fundamentals because I wanted to jump straight into cool tricks like dribbles or the strut walk. Later, after teaching many beginner classes, I realized how much faster I improved simply by repeating the basics over and over again.
Now you can learn from my experience. With these courses, I’ll help you focus on the important basics right from the start. A solid foundation will make it easier to build on and help you progress faster.
