Upcoming events:
ROLLER SKATING SCHEDULE
Please support the skating events
that are occurring throughout the country.
Many of these events draw skaters from all over North America and even as
far away as Japan, Sweden, and Europe.
When I retired in 2005, I also retired from giving skating parties. However, there are some who are still going
at it strong. You can find a list of
events at this link: http://www.skategroove.com/skatejamz.htm.
Desi does an outstanding job of keeping people informed about what is
occurring in the adult freestyle skating world. This is your best bet for know what is
happening and where.
With that said, We recommend
two parties above all others:
1)
Skate-a-Thon Labor Day Weekend
2)
Detroit Connection Nows Annual Dance and Skating Events in October
Why these two above all others?
Jois event is well planned and
she is an extraordinary host(ess). You
will see people from all over the country converge on Atlanta. The weather is nice, the city is historic and
the styles and beats unforgettable. I
cannot say enough good things about Joi, the city and the party. Well
one more thing. Big Bob and DJ Spin are great DJs for groups
coming from all over the country and it takes a unique ability to please such a
diverse crowd.
The Detroit Connection Now is
recommended because of my bias in favor of my home town. Also, Detroit skaters are exceptionally
talented. When you travel to Detroit,
you will be entertained by so many people with skills that you will leave
amazed. There are so many good skaters,
I cannot list them all. But, I will list
a few: Reggie, Perry, Mike, Wayne, Rick, Cynthia, Deb, Tony, Baby Jim, Rockin
Richard, T, Andre, Charles, Kenny, Cookie, Lisa, Chuck, Darnell, Byron,
Charlotte, Melvin, and I can go on and on.
In Detroit, when you mention these people by name, they are known all
over the city! I encourage you to go to
Detroit and witness SLIDING and OPEN HOUSE for yourself. If you see if from the safety of the
sidelines, great! If you see it from the
skating floor, well make sure theres an ambulance standing by.
Thursday August 30 Monday September 3, 2007 Jois SK8-A-Thon, Atlanta, GA. See Skate Groove and Jois site for details.
Friday October 12 Saturday October
13, 2007 Detroit
Connection Nows Annual Dance and Roller Skating Parties, Detroit, MI. See link #4 above.
BEST SKATING SONGS OF ALL TIME
A
few years ago, I asked the question, what is the best skating song. I received a number of responses as I tried
to develop a list of the top 100 songs.
I quickly noticed that a few of the same songs were mentioned by
virtually everyone I talked to. I have
listed the songs here and I would like to know what songs you feel should be on
a list for your area. I add
this emphasis because the list below is
for the Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH area.
This list would not work in Chicago, New York or many other parts of the
country. So, please send the names of
the songs and I will list them here, along with your city/state.
