Today we are going to be doing a deep dive of different rhythm skating techniques across the United States. You might’ve heard the term with him skating on websites and thrown around the internet but there isn’t too much information on what rhythm skating actually is. Broadly, rhythm skating is a marketing term used to describe the types of skating developed and used by African-Americans across the United States. Rhythm skating is not one style of skating it is an umbrella term used to describe techniques and styles of skating a cross the United States.

Detroit Skater since 1971. I noticed the two guys in black at the beginning did a couple of classic Detroit style moves from the early to mid 70s. I remember taking those moves to the rink called Skatetown USA in Hollywood in 1981 while on winter break (Grambling). Some of the cast from the movie took good notes, because when I came back they were on it.

I must say since I found your channel I feel like I am in skating college! This is so informative. I really am enjoying your videos. I am from Detroit but I have recently discovered I really like the St. Louis style of ballroom skating and the g-slide! So please do St. Louis style next. Oh and Chicago style too!

I never actually been to St. Louis lol, But I learned the g slide from “juice choreography” he got a KZfaq and Facebook, also for ballroom I follow “Antonio Henderson”, and “Leo Quad1 Evolution” is next level the dude can skate with one wheel! I don’t know if that’s a St. Louis thing or not. Don’t know if that helps. Keep up the awesome skate videos 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@jmonae9999 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, we jump a lot & there are other styles that can be difficult or simple/smooth, but they’re cool 😎 it all depends on what style you want to learn

@Dunbeezytv 11 ай бұрын

My apologies for the late response, jumps are not EXCLUSIVE to the Cleveland style. They are PROMINENT in the Cleveland style. Somes styles are influenced by artistic skating and other roller-skating styles incorporate jumps in less technical ways.

Hey, I've been away for a while and I wanted to chime in. Rollerdance is a program and term created by Richard Humphrey. It is where routines like the "Downtown" come from. If you type in rollerdance.com you will see Richard's website and the work he's done. Skate dance is what people call dancing on skates sometimes. It's not a trademark and doesn't refer to something specific. If you google skate dance, some modern skate influencers pop up. If you want to hear more about the story, I speak about Richard Humphrey on my roller skating history KZfaq "Rhythm Skating". You can check it out and hear the history of roller dance.

I learned enough to know that I am going stick with what what know (which isn't much lol). But do want to know one move. And still trying to find name to look it up. Either it's Cleveland shuffle, Bucket or Monkey .. similar, or is, like trays and trios move. I can some what do it, but just by watching others. But need actual moves, to learn it properly.
