This is more than just a hobby. This is part of the rich, resilient history and Culture of Detroit.

Emerging in the 1950s, Detroit Style has evolved into a sophisticated, fluid approach set to the rhythm of Motown.

Our goal is to preserve and further this rich tradition by developing the next generation of skaters, creating local and international opportunities moving toward Olympic recognition.
