how to turn around on your rollerskates pt.1 | beginner roller skate tutorial

repost! @mofalove asked me to break this down into smaller steps so here it is.
I broke this down into two videos, one for the beginner beginner (open book and heel-toe transition) and one for the advanced beginner (spread eagle and pivot transition)
let me know which transitions you like the most or where your turns are struggling!
---------
hello friends,
it feels so good to be back on skates! If you mastered 101 and you're like okay, but how do I turn around? or maybe you're
ready to take your skating to the next level? I got you.
in this video, you'll learn a few beginner-friendly ways to turn on your rollerskates.
with a little practice, these transitions will have you tricking everyone into thinking you've been skating for years. scouts honor :-)
p.s: Please tag me in your practice! I love love love to see it!
p.p.s: Find me other places and check out my adult rollerskating course if you like a more structured approach. From sock practice drills and move breakdowns to skate affirmations and beyond. I’ve got you covered there too boo.

Girl I randomly saw your 101 video on my yt main page, and that one single video made me go down the rollerskating rabbit hole. I also saw your short where you said, that you wanted to get as many people as you can on skates this summer. I wanna tell you, that you alone managed to get this random girl from Poland to roller skate. Thank you Dasia !!!!

[@angelsaangvelasquez7793]

my dad just bought me roller skates and girl because of you i just learned how to skate thank you!

[@MegaMywish]

I’m soon to be 60 years young and decided to purchase skates. 😊I have been wanting to learn how to rollerskate for a long time. Thanks for your videos. I will practice in my basement and will also take classes at my local rink. Wish me luck as my husband is not thrill about my idea.

[@Maddie_Lou]

Good luck!

[@christinec1232]

My first pair of skates came yesterday and while its scary, Im so glad I tried. Your first video made me want to skate and improve, thank you for your videos!!

[@jadenstjean3140]

I have some coming up

[@wallhagens2001]

I’m a teacher and know how hard it is to teach well. You teach well. ❤ big time thanks!

[@reyahh15]

my skates JUST arrived. ive been watching your videos for a few days. im so excited!

[@cassied9327]

You're a great teacher. The lessons and tips are fun and encouraging!

[@niraea]

those pants look amazing on you sis, you inspired me to wear similar ones next time i go skating haha

[@AvianYuen]

Love the personality, the slow pace, and the subs. I feel like I can do it on my skates! 😁

[@vaidatyliai7282]

Omg I am listening these advices in two layers - one for skating another one for my soul 😱💫

[@kaycejeanbaptiste7611]

I’m dusting off my skates and the most nerve wracking part is transitions for me. And I got it down pat in the span of this video. Love the energy and the outfit - a new subscriber 🫶🏾 Thank you KZbin algorithm

[@mommyphoenix2473]

Love your vibe and humor❤

[@erroniousmcleese]

You make this look smooth like butter. Reminding myself and my child that "Practice. Practice. Practice" is the most important will be tough

[@katedonaghue4956]

I appreciate you so much!! I’ve been practicing in my basement and your videos are a life saver. Hoping to skate like a pro outside come spring time :)

[@33chachalove]

I love your energy!

[@CharlieBaerr]

Yay! I've been waiting for this. thank you very much

[@eglejaseviciute4393]

I wanted to learn to skate since childhood, but I was always afraid, as I am so bad at anything that requires coordinated movement 😅 these video have me convinced that I should try anyway!

[@eliza.equestrian]

How’s it going? 🫶🏼

[@0las_]

I've gone from Shaky scared beginnee to less shakey slightly confident beginner from your videos thank you!

[@cole388]

used your backwards video to learn that, so this will be a nice next step!

[@DasiaDoesIt]

Yay! How do you like skating backwards??

[@cole388]

@@DasiaDoesIt I still only do it at the local basketball court and a super wide trail near me, needs more practice before I would feel comfortable applying it in more practical ways

[@motivated2010]

so glad to see you hon! thanks for the tips and I'm still trying to figure this backwards skating thing out...LOL -don't judge me. 🤣😂

[@iyojimaanzu]

Lol before you said “you got socks” i was literally doing this while watching IN MY SOCKS 😭

[@NevahShoutNevah]

I've been watching your videos for a few days now. I got myself some skates last summer but never got on them. I'm so excited for spring so I can really plan to go places to skate now ❤

[@DasiaDoesIt]

Eeek! I can't wait for the moment you get to experience the sun on your skin and your flow start to click. You've got this.

[@NevahShoutNevah]

@@DasiaDoesIt you've got no clue how much I needed that encouragement. I got out yesterday and got to skate for about an hour practicing before I fell hard and hit my tailbone 😅 few days of rest for me before I do that again 😂 it was so much fun though

[@hellosunsun370]

hey dasia! i started rollerskating because of you and its so much fun 😆i hope to be as good as you someday 🤩love from socal 🤗❤

[@aims5577]

Best roller skating videos I’ve ever watched. 😭😭😭 thank you for being a great teacher. 🪩❤️✨

[@BoujiBohemian]

I already know how to skate. I’m good at it actually. I just like watching you teach.😊

[@powellkatie123]

Focus on fundamentals, the rest will come! Thank you! The stress ends today!

[@KingzAtomic]

I actually longboard around or what have you,going to rolling thunder after not roller skating for years so this will be a awesome experience,thank you for being the best internet teacher I’ve watched 🔥🔥🔥

[@DasiaDoesIt]

That's awesome! I know that you will have so much fun. Thank you for being here.

[@FallisLife]

Thanks! I’m practicing on carpet because last time I skating on a smooth floor I fell and quit 😂 I’m determined now and this seems like a lot more fun than when I tried skateboarding (i know it takes practice but it just wasn’t for me, I like controlling my body not an item). Thanks so much for these tips because I’m having a lot of fun sliding around my bedroom on these things :D

[@leslieh687]

I just bought my skate!! I've been non stop watching your videos I can't wait to give it a shot. Thank you for all the help!! ❤

[@AJAB-1987]

You should put "You got socks, though" on a shirt. 🤣

[@birdxiee]

Thank you so much !❤

[@tashah6041]

My daughter is learning to skate. And she is doing great on it.

[@julielopresti324]

That's an amazing rink. I must know where that is. 😍

[@pursephonebell203]

You have sock tutorials for off skate/indoor apartment practice? 🤩 I wish I had found your tutorials months ago! Everything is clicking finally

[@claudiacarvalho2773]

Thank you so much❤

[@demonslayeR987DS]

Heyy I love your content. I was wondering if you could do a backwards skating tutorial? Thanks xx

[@agape4tube]

WOW DASIA....THANKS! I use to skate so good....decades ago, then stopped for decades. Wish I shouldn't have. Now too old & too fat. Still you are Great, Thanks❤

[@Deploracle]

I have the skating part down (ice hockey player/coach for decades) but am enjoying the scenery anyway. Wish I had an open air ice rink that size at my disposal ... but sadly Texas is too hot. Lucky girl :)

[@rondacrosby1321]

Cool video, Thanks

[@anastasiabananastasia]

ur an awesome teacher 🤍

[@brandilopes4755]

You got socks tho!!😂😂😂 Love it!!❤

[@swvsnick]

I'm on my school's roller derby team and I haven't been cleared for the contact training yet because I cannot transition but the shoulders might be where I'm gong wrong (also I think I needed more hip flexibility and I can say I've mad progress). I think for derby they have you do the open-book transition but you pick up your feet to do it. Gonna do some sock practice and see what my shoulders do, been looking down to make sure my feet turn all the way.

[@swvsnick]

Update: the shoulder thing was life-changing! I still struggle but that's an anxiety thing. The more seasoned derby teammates tell me I open up all the way for transitions but I get scared and close up just enough for it to not work. Making progress though!

[@Newbii2071]

Hey Dasia! Just wondering where you got your skates from! Watched the tutorials for the basics of skating on your channel and I'm inspired to try to skate. I've been looking for a while and I can only find a selection of the same style skates. I was just wondering what website you got yours from, they look amazing! Love your videos! 💖💖

[@selcatron]

How did you find this covered smooth wonderfulness? Is it in a park or?

[@haircules7420]

Hey girl hey!

[@joshuaandreidelapena3065]

Greetings! I'm using kickroller skates and I'm not sure yet how i can make your teachings work the same way as my skates.

[@nene1066]

Hi Dasia your videos are absolutely fascinating. So much so that I now want to learn to skate at my ripe age of 59. Do u think it's possible??? I would like private lessons, I'm in Los Angeles California. Any suggestions please😅

[@FatimaFarmer]

Skate course?! Where is the link?

[@xxRachelxx9483]

earned yourself a sub

[@DasiaDoesIt]

Grateful for you.❤️

[@cheyyyymarie9662]

How do I prevent my wheels from dragging against the ground? I have outdoor wheels and I feel like the material doesn’t glide well enough to turn

[@fdhncxfhjvdetuikkbdwwd]

My cat watched the whole video with me and a cup of coffee lmao aint nobody leaving 😊

[@dejat1226]

Gonna keep trying lol

[@keeping_it_brii7893]

tell me why Dasia's book looks elegant and flowy while my book looks like it's on fire

[@campicritter4U]

No excuses I 💜 that!! You got socks tho 😁👍

[@tenea110]

Do the trucks need to be loosened?? I feel like I can’t do my “c”’s because I haven’t loosened them yet ✨🧍🏽‍♀️

[@evangelineolog5572]

I have rollerskates and i did not use tutorials but i learn how to turn like a book

[@OddOwlOut]

I've been skating for years but I can't turn or transition and no videos have ever been helpful. I was watching this at a friend's house and was like, damn wish I had my skates and then you said, "You got socks though!" And now I'm up practising in their kitchen

[@rachealofori9282]

You got socks though! 😅 Love your energy 💋

[@user-lp4uk4eb1j]

Please come to south africa in Johannesburg and go to rollegoli

[@charmcelestialmalate83]

From me philippines 🇵🇭

[@shannondent7052]

LMAO@ “ you got socks though!” 😂

[@spongebob9729]

It's embarrassing that I'm learning this in my room with a tiny space cause we have a bumpy road outside.. yeah i learned how to skate in my room only.

[@DasiaDoesIt]

Totally not embarrassing. I started learning in my kitchen haha. What a lovely origin story you have! You're doing it. ❤

[@Diinify]

Nothing wrong with that! You might try finding a park to practice at, if you find a tennis or basketball court that's empty they usually have pretty smooth surfaces that are great for practicing on

[@fetalee3358]

Do you think I Can rollerskate better If I am a befinner figure skater for about 5 months

[@DasiaDoesIt]

100%. You've already built up a relationship with your body, you'll be ahead of the game. Goodluck. ❤

[@cheyenneward5973]

So I can't 'open' my feet to create a straight line. How do I proceed? I feel like in order to do it, you've got to be able to do that, right?

[@DasiaDoesIt]

It doesn’t have to be straight, it’ll have a little curve to it. But if you’re struggling opening your feet it’s more likely that your hips are a little tight. You can do stretches that will help loosen your hips and that should help you open your feet and you’ll be able to do it in no time!

[@user-lp4uk4eb1j]

On the 26th April 2024😊

You are gorgeous...

[@JayGSmith08]

The heel toe looks scary

Umm I'm confused is this difficult for people? Since when do people need lessons to rollerskate

[@MrsVargasC]

I am on day 4 of skating & I learned because of your videos😭🙏🩷

Whoooo! How is it going?
