Jamskating is a form of roller skating that originated in the United States, primarily within the roller derby and roller disco scenes. It is characterized by a combination of dance, acrobatics, and artistic movements performed on roller skates. Jamskating is often set to music with a strong beat, typically hip-hop, funk, or other rhythmic genres.
Rhythm skating is another form of artistic roller skating that emphasizes graceful and rhythmic movements to music. Unlike jamskating, which is more rooted in urban and hip-hop styles, rhythm skating draws inspiration from dance styles such as ballroom, jazz, and dance on ice. It is typically performed on quad roller skates and involves a combination of footwork, spins, and dance elements.
