What to expect
The adult bootcamp meets for eight weekly sessions and starts on a Sunday afternoon. You practice stopping, learning to fall safely, weaving, crossovers, and backward skating, and the last session is a review with a fun dance. Expect a gear check in week one and a $60 fee paid up front.
Tips for your first visit
