Roller skating teacher Myesha McCaskill says you have to learn to fall before you learn to roll.
The lesson came in handy on a late February Saturday afternoon, as some of her students — myself included — struggled to stay balanced on four wheels, sometimes holding onto the window sill, wall or one of the pillars in the studio.When people fell, the class followed McCaskill’s lead and applauded as they got back up, creating a welcoming space for imperfection.
She teaches there every Saturday unless she’s out of town. The beginner class is from 1-3 p.m. and the intermediate/advanced class is from 3-5 p.m. She also teaches at the Chicago Athletic Club once a month. Johnson is a recreation specialist at the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center, where he brings sports programs to the youth at the center.
“The principal was looking for more programs to introduce to our young men,” he said. “You know, get them an outlet to do things after school.” “The right leg goes forward,” she says, showing the move as she teaches how to turn around. “As I turn, my head, my body turns, too, so it’s one motion. I’ma turn my head and my body, bringing this left leg all the way in, form a line. I’ma shift my body weight to the other foot and bring this back leg around.”
