Another of my dreams came true and I am glad to announce about the collaboration with the Wheelchair Community. I’m going to help with the dance choreography workshops for Miss Wheelchair Canada 2018. Couple of my students and I will be performing with the candidates at the final show. It is such a blessing. I am so happy and so excited about it.

The “Roller Skating Fun” summer 2018 project has been created from our love and passion for roller skating. We skate in different styles, we dance, and we play various games on roller skates. We skate alone, with partners, and in groups. We skate slalom – around cones and doing other tricks. Roller skating keeps us creative, healthy and happy. Roller skating is like a rainbow in the sky – colorful and magical. Just try it! Lana and the skate crew.
Children choreography – Lana Shahar, Partner roller skating routine choreography – Lana Shahar & Mo Sanders.

It was so exciting when one of the foreign producers contacted me and invited us to participate in Commercial Shoot with my students. Not everyone can skate hard – the Roller dance Owls can! On Tuesday, March 13th we had a Shoot and skated non stop for 5 hours. The kids were so tired, but did their best! Good job everyone! I am so proud and so happy for my Roller Owls. They had a great experience and they got their first pay cheque. I am so grateful to my students and their parents for their trust and belief in me, for being part of RDO.
Get ready! Our roller adventure is going to be fascinating!

Roller Dance Owl students had an audition for a 🎥Commercial a week ago. I am so happy and so proud of them! My 8 students (6 kids and 2 adults) are going to a shoot in the Commercial. Yes, life is better on roller skates!
PS. ✅We have a shooting on Tuesday, March 13, so we have no classes on that day.
Roller Dance Owls are learning new routine with Rhythmic roller skate dance steps. We’re taking this video to see Naomi’s improvement in a couple of months. We’re getting ready for new roller dance project!
