Brigitte Legendre and her son Trent are bringing their Roller Disco and Skatescool to Stanmore Bay.

Skate instructor Brigitte Legendre, who started her first Skatescool at Whangaparāoa School 12 years ago, is coming back to run a class and Roller Disco this month.

Now living in Northland, she runs skate events and classes in small communities all around the region.

Brigitte skated as a child in France, and says she loves the sport because it can be done inside or out, and also in a disco format with music and lights.

She says skating is a great way to get around a city because you travel faster than walking, with little effort.

Her skate lesson, and Roller Disco, for both inline and roller skates and all age groups, is at the Stanmore Bay Pool & Leisure Centre on. Friday, April 14, starting 4.30pm. Cost is $10 for a lesson, $10 for the disco and $5 skate hire. Info: Roller Disco Whangaparāoa https://fb.me/e/Gs3JY6iU
