Roller Skate House
Covering basics in Footwork & Middlework.
Frankie will be collaborating his experience within House Dance into the process of freestyle through Skating – in how the two unite, harmonise and share a cultural history. Similarly to the House class, will start from the root of some Rhythm skate vocabulary and build slowly. No dance experience is necessary BUT to bring an open mind in considering the possibilities of what dance and the movement of the body can provide as a reference to constructing movement on skates.
The workshop is intended for all visitors over the age of 12.

Originally from Bristol, UK, Frankie is a rare individual who matches his raw natural dance talent with hard work and discipline and has developed into one of the best representing House Dancers internationally of today in his current generation.
Having trained from a young age in numerous dance disciplines – both within contemporary and forms of Street & Club Dance, Frankie was selected to be part of the Swindon Youth Dance Academy where he was mentored by some of the best instructors in the UK. From there, he went on to earn a First Class degree in contemporary dance from London Contemporary Dance School at The Place, graduating in 2013.
Upon finishing his studies, Frankie has focussed mainly on the House Dance style, pursuing a career as a professional Roller Skater & DJ, gaining respect and numerous titles at worldwide competitions and events such as House Dance Europe, IBE, Flavourama, Urban Moves, Step Ya Game Up, Dance Alive Japan, Juste Debout & Summer Dance Forever. He was also invited to join Plague Dance Crew & InDaHouse in 2012, Deep Manners in 2018 and Sour Patch Collective – Worldwide in 2019.
Now, Frankie’s aim is to share his vision of embodying and combining his physical and mental understanding of his body in harmonising his technical background and training, with his contribution of preserving House music and House Dance Culture of his generation.
