ABOUT THE LEARN TO SKATE CLASSESWe believe in having a go, so students are encouraged to go at their own pace under the guidance of our coaches. By combining both the physical and creative elements of skateboarding, Totem gives students the opportunity to try out and practice a wide and unique variety of skills to build self-esteem in a fun, safe, and supported environment.ABOUT THE SELF-EXPRESSION JAM SESSIONThis 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.WHAT CLASS SHOULD I REGISTER FOR?We have created this simple guide to help you decide what class will be best suited for you/your child.Our beginner class is for skill level 0 to 1 and the intermediate class and self-expression jam session is for skill level 2 to 3.Level 0 - The NewcomerNew to skateboarding and has no experience.
