YAAAAAAASSSSSZZZZZZ!!!! GROWNsk8tingggggg!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🙌🏽 Shoutout to all the photographers. Sometimes We don't give yall enough credit for your captures, so I'm giving yall ya'flowers Ta'DAY! 🎥🛼💐
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!!!
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.
@@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.
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.
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 but like with the costumes and choreography like in ballroom. I don’t know how they would salsa on skates but that would be cool to watch. It’s like a combination of ice skating without ice and ballroom.
The STL has always had great style in live entertainment, skating, clothing, dancing and food. This is beautifully done. Oh! How do I know. I’m from the STL.
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.
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
My goodness. I have been looking and watching and just surfing this tube to see the video recorder. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. They are in the movement. Comment after comment all over Detroit Tampa. “ I wish I could see the photograph etc. well I finally saw a couple. And yes. This takes skill the artistry abs beauty if it is simply wonderful. Yeah I finally see them. Give it up. I would love to share this link. In response se to the next comment anywhere. Wish I could see whose holdi G tbe camera. It’s everything. I’m gushing because I’m so happy. They are just rolling along and holding the camera perfectly still. They could film movies I’m Or something. The ballroom skaters were nice too. Thank you ! Blessings
That first couple... in that first 1 minute of the video... !LITERALLY!... put me in a "trance"... 👀 Sooo amazing is their "effortless" symmetry... wow... just beautiful... 💃🏽🕺🏽
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.
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. 😊👍🙏🏾
@@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 🤣🤣
Wow, t hat was amazing! The girl in the blue cop top and her partner were awesome, to watch, and so in tune with each other! just so beautiful to watch.🙂 Have book marked this so I can watch it again!
Simply amazing! I totally agree! They really were breathtaking! 🤗 Thanks for watching & commenting! Feel free to enjoy it as much as you like. I can’t stop watching it either!😊
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.
Love this - thanks for posting! These are my skate goals! I live in Oakland, but take lessons here at Skate King whenever I'm in town. Coming back this year to try to get this smooth wit it.
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. 😁🙏🏾
This is just a guess… The way they roll in STL, they practice it (ballroom style) almost every day. I believe they’re just so well versed in this art, that they can skate to just about anything, at any time. 🙏🏾
These couples are really in sync. I’m feeling this. 🥰
❤yessss gurl
clown thinks the upclose only shot in the world go get knowledge gtfoh big big clown style on fruitloops
Awesome and Glowing!
Beautiful and so graceful!🎉🎉🎉🎉

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.

I grew up going to Skate King, I’m so happy they still going strong!

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

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

Beautiful 🕊🇺🇲💕
Dope 💯

It’s my Absolute pleasure, to be able to share this🙏🏾!! This is My skate goal as well!
I would have loved this. On point 💯💯💯. Shout out to the Lou Lou ❤️
Where is this I want to do?
I really love this stuff. Ballroom skating should be a Olympic event.
Love that 1st couple, dude in yellow goldenrod pants and the girl with blue top.
Very REFRESHING to see people engaged in actions that really speak louder than words.
Wait where is this at I'm from st.louie..I need to get out more often😢
Man, STL is Dope AF. 💯🔥😁 Maybe get out, just a teensy little bit more🤣🙏🏾
What can I say; I want this.
Now that's what was some serious gliding.
Omg makes me want to learn to skate❤
Me too, And that’s why I do this😁🙏🏾
This makes me want to learn to skate
Come on out here.😁 Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it. 💯🤗🙏🏾
What kind of skates do they have? I’m just starting
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. 😁🙏🏾
This was beautiful and amazing in every way, ? Do they get to practice to these songs before they dance in front of everyone? Thank you in advance
This is just a guess…
The way they roll in STL, they practice it (ballroom style) almost every day. I believe they’re just so well versed in this art, that they can skate to just about anything, at any time. 🙏🏾
@@808onSK8z thank you
I would love this as an olympic sport.
😍🥰😎
Has anyone dropped the playlist yet?
STL Ballroom playlist
Stuck with Me - Tamia
Glu - Usher
Telekinesis - Usher
😁👋👋🙏🏾
@@808onSK8z Thanks!
Love the Afro American vibes
What song is this in the very beginning?
I going to go get so skates today 😂
Ok, which skates did you pick out? 🤔🤔🤔😁
🤣
Well I need to learn the dance first😜😜😜
What are the three songs playing in the background? The songs compliment the sexiness in the skaters..
STL Ballroom playlist
Stuck with Me - Tamia
Glu - Usher
Telekinesis - Ne-Yo
I’ll never listen to these songs again, and NOT visualize these skater doing ballroom. The songs are better songs now, because of this!(😂lbvs)
So many fond memories, St. Louis is still the greatest, outstanding is the only way to describe the many generations. Love to you always..
Why is this not an Olympic event?!? These skaters are so graceful!
What’s the name of the first song?
Go to the description, and click “more”
It shows you all of the songs being played. 😁🙏🏾
