Mamma loves to skate and so do her little kiddos! Mamma also loves Princess On Skates - Belle the wonder behind the wheels is so amazing, her wonderful park skating routines are quite famous - check her out here on the news! Now, she has expanded her repertoire to include lessons! Hooray!

Belle does all kinds of lessons from the basics, where you can learn to skate safely to then also progress your skills with her more advanced sessions. She also covers equipment checks, basics of striding, correct form, falling technique. Essentially, Belle will make sure you get up on your feet (wheels) properly.

Oh you are also treated to a little 'end of lesson performance too!

With over 20 years of skating experience, Belle is amazing!
