This course is for you if you:

  • have limited free time or cannot make courses that run over several weeks
  • want to get started in inline skating
  • are looking for a way to get fit

This course fits with the hectic 21st Century lifestyle by running it's two lessons on one day, with a break for lunch around the wonderful Royal Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, just opposite The Royal Albert Hall.

Lesson 1, which I call Beginner (The Royal Albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, London)

It doesn't matter if you haven't skated before, or have but are struggling, as this lesson goes from the beginning: you learn to skate forward, stop safely using the heel brake, and gets you doing some simple turns. All fundamental skills that you'll build on in your skating future.

Lesson 2, Refinement (The Royal Albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, London)

This is where I refine those beginner skills you have to get you looking a bit more polished. We'll make the turns more stylish, we'll go a little bit faster for less effort, and hills will start to look less scary. It will be intensive but you'll leave with the skills and drills necessary to really get skating.

You can find out when this course is being run in the course dates section and will find related news at the bottom of this page. If you want you can request more information.

Prices

Lesson Duration Price

Included in the price of this course is access to the students area of this website, which forms a personal skating manual that grows with you over time and includes notes specific to this course.

Once booked onto a course you do not have to attend all lessons, only pay for those that you do, and are free to swap between different runs of the course (let me know if you want to do this). Also, if you do not learn anything from a lesson I will obviously not charge you for it.

This is the website of Matthew Denner, a UK based inline skating instructor. If you're looking to start skating, or improve your current skills, you should take a look around to see what I have to offer.

I try to make my courses goal oriented, whether that is being part of the larger street skating community, or just getting a number of skills that combine well together. I cater for all skill levels, from complete beginner through to competent skaters. When teaching private lessons I treat you as an individual, catering for your abilities and learning rate. And with those courses and lessons my students get their own students area page with access to notes, tips and drills.
