Artistic Rollerskating aka Figure Skating
The Sunshine Coast Artistic Skating Club which is based at the Caloundra Rollerdrome, offers a fun and rewarding skating experience to everyone of all ages. We teach all ages how to figure skate, with certain students competing in various competitions held throughout each year.
There are four main disciplines of Artistic Roller Skating
- Dance – Dance Skating is to perform a rhythmic and patterned succession of steps to music. One of the prime objectives is to interpret the rhythm of the music eg. Waltz, Tango etc.
- Freeskating – Freeskating consists of jumps, spins and footwork blended in harmony with the skater’s choice of music.
- Freedance – The combination of dance and freeskating with combined technical elements and choreography.
- Figures – The individual follows the figure circle line on a specific edge. Figures become progressively more complex with the addition of turns and the use of the third circle.
