House of skate is now open it’s a brand new roller rank here in Calgary and I’m joined by the co-founders Teresa as well as Roxy hello ladies uh we’ll start with Teresa first um House of skate is the first permanent roller ring since Lloyd’s close back in 2018 yeah we’re
Really excited about it it is offering all kinds of things to the public so we have everything from different genre nights so for all our old schoolers first and last Thursday of the month is your RI Ryan retto uh third Thursday of the month we have house dance we just
Had a Latin night we have family skate we have uh classes for children from five all the way up we even have a kids club so we have a lot of different things for people to find what best suits them and for people who are familiar with Calgary roller skate House
Of skate is actually a Rebrand for you yes so we started as a small little company just doing pop-ups around the city slowly building our Fleet and then in time with Tik Tock and recreational activities taking Forefront again for people we were feel like we felt it was
The right timing for it yeah and it really has gained that traction thanks Teresa now Roxy the community has really grown and this is a community for people of all ages and all abilities oh 100% one of the things that we’re really happy about in our new space is that we
Have a little bit of a beginner Skate Zone it’s set off from the main rank so for people who are new to skating or just finding their feet under them again after a couple of years uh gives you a chance to get your wheels going feel more comfortable and uh you just get
Yourself going before you’re out on the main rank with all the fast skaters yeah and you’ve seen skaters pass through these doors as young as 5 to as old as 80 and really supporting local is just as important uh the light insulation for example you have here yeah so one of the
Things that we are really excited about in this space is that we have a fully custom built lighting installation artwork by local artist Ken hake and uh that’s something that is unique to roll ranks all together I think it’s the only one I’ve ever seen like this and it is
One of a kind it really add to the vibe thank you so much ladies thank you now of course rentals are offered here in addition to those skate nights and classes quads and inlines for more information you can always visit house of.ca
