[@808onSK8z]

Yes indeed! BOTH! 😁🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@LoveU1st]

Wait..wait that partner switch was so smooth🤯🤯🤯. I want to find lessons to skate like this 🤩🤩🤩

[@808onSK8z]

Check your local rink hours, or take a ride to STL! 🤗🔥

[@claudettej.7930]

That partner switch was unbelievable!!

[@liquidthreads1702]

Great job, skaters and film crew!!! ❤❤❤

[@tanni720]

Omgosh thanks for capturing all of this beautiful movement and Ballroom style, Love! It was an amazing experience to see with you and I am grateful that you were able to share this!! ❤🎉😊

[@808onSK8z]

I know, right!?!?! STL is “Da Bomb”!!!! I’m so glad we got to get instruction from them! They’re so good!!

[@valeriebower7319]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@liveinviolet2908]

This was Soooo Beautiful 🤩 ❤

[@808onSK8z]

🙏🏾💯😊

[@diannaedmonson75]

I'm a ballroom and Latin Hustle dancer from way back. I thought high heels was a challenge to be proud to have accomplished.... But y'all on wheels!! That's impressive! Beautiful.

[@808onSK8z]

That is exactly what I thought. It’s amazing what they can do on wheels! 🤗💯🔥 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😁

[@melvinbrown9049]

We are a gifted people this is so beautiful

[@808onSK8z]

And you KNOW this, mannnn!! 💯

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

WE certainly are. We truly are TRENDING SETTERS. It just grieves me when SOME black men (and women) uses their talent for things that are wrong and causes damage not just to themselves but leave a “dark mark” on the whole race (skin color). Have you ever noticed that WHATEVER “WE” do ( and I am talking about the stylist tends/things POSITIVE) eventually the whole world tries to imitate it? We truly, like I said, are TREND SETTERS

[@e.f3887]

Just beautiful couples,I really injoy watching all of them ❤🎉

[@808onSK8z]

I completely agree!🤗

[@floydthompson8668]

Okay, SOMEBODY, WE NEED A NATIONAL COMPETITION, WITH PRIZES!!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!!! The hell with trying to get it in the Olympics, LET'S DO THIS!! Imagine.. The music selections, outfits, creative skating.. this has amazing potential!!!

[@pattygiertz8841]

My dad was a professional/competitive roller skater in the 1950s and 60s. Out of st louis area. Was a big deal....I have movies, costumes, trophies, programs from all of it. He could do all the stuff ice skaters did......jumps and spins into his late 40s. So I love this too.

[@Heyu7her3]

​@@pattygiertz8841yeah, we know people took it that seriously. would be nice to see if a national thing could be done without it being ruined. one recent example is the national step show competition they used to have.

[@claudettej.7930]

I was just made a similar comment the other day; this needs to be showcased to the world.

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

4/14/2024: Yes, true BUT it would take the FUN out of it. These couples are so smooth and graceful. Just absolutely BEAUTIFUL ON EVERY LEVEL.

[@CozyQueen_]

I thought the same but then decided it’s best as it is. Once things get on a national competitive level it takes the fun out of it. Everything gets critiqued and it becomes almost robotic like figure skating. I love watching figure skating but I’d rather watch this more because it just isn’t so much pressure to have a perfect performance it’s more of a freestyle it seems.

[@Justbeingme971]

The first couple were perfectly in sync...

[@StevenC-CSW]

OUTSTANDINGLY SMOOTH 🛼👍🏾💯

[@808onSK8z]

Amazingly so! 🤗🙏🏾

Ouuu they're so smooth!! I'm in awe

[@sxybrownsuga4999]

I can see myself now....falling all over the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Everyone looked so graceful! I would love to be able to learn to skate like that! They looked so smooth gliding across the floor.

[@kmbutler04]

Exactly why I don't skate for fear of falling. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😪😂

[@808onSK8z]

There’s no feeling like this. You owe it to yourself to at least give it a try. Get some wrist guards, and knee pads, and take it easy. You’ll thank me later. 😊👍🙏🏾

[@sxybrownsuga4999]

@@808onSK8z I got my skates. I used to go all the time, then I got older and realized, I can't just pop back up like a jack in the box after a fall 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hitting that floor might put me out of commission for a few weeks 🤣🤣 I got my skates though and I'm about to get some elbow and knee pads...maybe some butt pads too 🤣🤣

[@808onSK8z]

@SXYBrown Suga, yes indeed. Get all the pads and go slow, til you get the hang of it again. 😁👍You can do it!!

[@melan8121]

Ran across this by accident but so glad I did! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tapskill3]

Ballroom Skating without a doubt deserves to be showcase Nationally and internationally! I agree Ballroom Skating is here to stay! Like every fine wine, the best in enjoy when it’s been decades of development in the bottle, but when it’s ready , everyone who has enjoyed it smoothness, quality and consistency is rewarded and lifted wanting more. We more ball-roomers to teach ballroom! Sense STL Ballroom was originally created , we need them to do what it takes to send Ballroom Skating internationally. They could form a Ballroom Skating Association and reach out to all the major rinks across America.

[@candyc.3163]

Awesome!

[@vibinwithshunda]

We need more of this in the World...

[@808onSK8z]

I agree wholeheartedly! Each one, teach one💯🙏🏾

[@msbates2u2]

Love it. STL skaters. I remember skating at Crystal in the 50's and Steinbeck in the 60's.

Well I need to learn the dance first😜😜😜

[@marymcginn8761]

Why is this not an Olympic event?!? These skaters are so graceful!

[@theyoyolife8506]

What kind of skates do they have? I’m just starting

[@808onSK8z]

Good question. I’ve never asked. Honestly tho, it’s not the skates. It’s the skaters. Find a set of skates that you like, and get comfortable. Make adjustments and/or mods to fit your style, and you’ll do just fine. 😁🙏🏾

[@christineh7997]

Roller skating used to be an Olympic sport!

I finally get to see the camera person. I thought it would have been a guy.

[@808onSK8z]

That’s only one of them. There were multiple people recording, that night. Men & women. 😊🙏🏾

[@wendylederer367]

I took ball room dancing. It was hard for me to get the steps. I think I would do better on skates.

[@808onSK8z]

Ya know…that’s what thought. And then I applied myself, because I really wanted to learn. It’s such a beautiful expression of dancing and skating on wheels. Thanks for sharing! If you find yourself in St Louis, stop by SkateKing and check it out for yourself. 😊🙏🏾

I mean that SWITCH tho..!!! no one else noticed? Just me?? 🤌🏾💋
