I'm always in a good mood after watching your videos! They somehow feel so wholesome and happy. Thank you, Katie!

Digging the dance plugs! I had a neighbor takeoff. My toe stops to put in the dance flags and he was mortified and could not believe why I was throwing such a great piece of equipment in the trash.😂😂😂

Katie you are so amazing. I always watch one of your videos before I skate. You are a lovely teacher! 🫶🏻

I go to roller disco twice a week and even though I love to learn tricks while doing it, it'll also be fun to actually dance too

I have always loved your upbeat lessons. You make me feel like I can do this. No matter how much time goes by that I have not been able to get on my skates. Thanks

Please make more videos about skate moves for dancing, maybe particularly those dance moves using toe stop/jamplugs like compass spin or something similar? 😊❤️

Can you get better at roller skating?? I honestly haven't been on skates in years since I was 16-17 and I'm now 40 and those were rollerblades. I remember finding roller blades to be much easier for me than skates had been years before that... although in all fairness the extent of my skating was limited to once a year when I'd unbury them from the bottom of my closet, dust them off, and spend a night roller skating at my friend's birthday party. I was usually pretty stiff and sore the next day.

I would actually like to get a pair of roller skates and try it again. I'm sitting here wondering if you can improve with practice and time on skates even if you're maybe not so coordinated and loose control and trip on your own feet in skates?

You have the roll line Dance plate! How did you choose the cushions and bearings for it? Im struggling with my new Dance plate and dont know what is wrong - its just way too slow and stiff. I thoulght either the cushions are too hard, but they are exactly for my weight. Or that i tightened them too much, because the click system on this plate is hard to understand - but i dont think its tight. Then i thought that bearings are just slow, because i bought some cheap ones. I dont know what to think :D Ive heard that the dance plates kind of should be a bit stiffer, but why... Did you have any similar experience?

Can u make a video for inline skating also please

[luisotoya]

I have a question: does it makes sense to switch between toe stops (street skating) and jam plugs (indoors/rink). Please advise.

Hello. I am looking around for Damce Boot Setup. Are you wearing Edea Boots and the Damce plate?
Thanks

[regina]

Also, are your skates laced all of the way up? 🤔
Thank you
