Creative skating is what I love, mixing up the skills and dancing styles I gathered throughout my career. I teach workshops and courses for Beginners and Intermediate skaters in Dublin to the local groups which are part of a thriving community. Because I have a great understanding of the technicalities of roller-skating, my teaching focuses on breaking skills down into achievable drills, meeting each skater where they are at in their skating journey.
