Learn to Rollerblade!

Kids will learn to rollerblade, or improve their skills with Teacher Karen!

Beginners will first practice blading on the carpeted area at Skate City Arvada. Karen will go over basics such as the angle your blades should be at and technique for moving forward, stopping, and falling safely. Then, they'll transition to the rink and practice their new skills on the skating surface. Once everyone feels pretty confident, Karen will introduce going in circles around the rink together, and having some fun! Karen will incorporate skating games based on the child or group's skill level.

Equipment not provided. Kids can bring their own or rent at Skate City.

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Since discovering Grasshopper at a local street fair I have hired them for all (3 in total) birthday parties. The instructors are passionate about their craft and excellent working with children. I hope the day never comes where my kids outgrow their offerings, but w their ability to customize a party to a child’s desire, I think we’ll be hosting parties w the help of Grasshopper for years to come.

Having a high-quality, in-home experience surpassed my expectations. My kids were engaged, having fun + had responsive support throughout the 2 hours. I would definitely recommend Grasshopper Kids to other parents!
