ABOUT THE LEARN TO SKATE CLASSES
We believe in having a go, so students are encouraged to go at their own pace under the guidance of our coaches. By combining the physical and creative elements of skateboarding, Totem allows students to try and practice a wide, unique range of skills to build self-esteem in a fun, safe, and supported environment.
The lessons cater to newcomers and beginners to "transitioning to intermediate" Skaters.
ABOUT THE SELF-EXPRESSION JAM SESSION
This is not a class, but a chance for participants to have extra support to focus on their own progression. Giving them the experience of a comp setting with loads of prize giveaways to be won. The session will help to boost their confidence and become familiar with and keep the momentum going to move to the next level of competing in bigger jams and comps. All while highlighting and appreciating the time, energy, and effort they have put into getting good at skating.
