Skate NSW is pleased to invite you to our Rollart Development Workshop on Sunday 10th November. This workshop is open to all skaters, and coaches, in order to Develop Artistic Skating inline with changes to Rollart for 2020. The implementation of Rollart has been a monumental step forward for our sport, globally. It’s important to remember that we (as in the whole world of skating!) are all learning together.

NSW is fortunate to have two of the four Australian Coaches recognised by World Skate, Esther Ambrus & Gawaine Davis, who along with Anita Hunt (Australian High Performance Coach) and Miss Ellie of Sally K Dance (who has just won a professional dance contract with Disney Paris) will present 3 workshops as organised by NSW Development Coordinator, Robert Karp. It will be an invaluable learning experience for everyone and I can’t stress how important it is that as many people attend as possible.

The seminar will be open to SkateNSW CAT 1, 2 or 3 members (CAT 4 members can upgrade to CAT 3) and aimed at Rising Stars to Championship level skaters, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and interclub friendship.

Included in the seminar will be
- 1 hour on skates with our World Skate Coaches Esther and Gawaine
- 1 hour fitness, conditioning and flexibility with Anita Hunt (Australian High Performance Coach)
- 1 hour dance and choreography (Miss Ellie)

A lot of work is going on around the country with seminars like this one to help improve the standard in Australia. Please advertise this to your skaters as this is an amazing opportunity to learn and form new friendships. Hopefully there are many more to come. We are also planning something special in January so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Please see below a letter from Pam Young, the National Artistic Chairperson outlining the initiative.
