Skatefreestyle workshop: May 4th and 5th near Bremen, Germany

Tim and I will be heading to Bremen, Germany for a freestyle slalom workshop on May 4th and 5th. We are greatly looking forward to it, as it has been a long while since we've given a workshop, and in the meantime we've gained quite a bit of teaching / skating experience that we're both eager to share.

The content of what we teach will of course depend on who our students are. In the recent past we've had success doing choreographed slalom runs with students, which gets people working on every aspect of their slalom at once --including the flow, transitions, the individual moves making up the combo, as well as getting people to see how they can combine things in new ways themselves. So we'd like to incorporate this into the weekend, as well as teaching you some stylish new slalom moves. However, please let us know what you are interested in as well, so we can get an idea of what everyone in the group is looking for.

The weekend will be a time for eager slalom skaters to learn, share, and practice. Whether you are a beginning slalomer or advanced one, as long as you can skate forwards and backwards and are ready to practice for at least a solid eight hours (spread over Saturday and Sunday) and learn some slalom theory as well, then the workshop is for you.

The skating hall will also be open later on both Saturday and Sunday for some extra hours of skating (if you've got the energy left in you).
