E-mail address: maria.homeyer@uni-muenster.deFrom the USA, Brazil, India, Spain, or beyond — common sports connect people! We are excited to announce the launch of our new "Welcome & Dance on Roller Skates" course in cooperation with 'Hochschulsport' (HSP) and 'Die Techniker' (German health insurance company). This course offers a fantastic opportunity for networking between international and German university members, as well as Münster residents. During lessons, you'll get an introduction to skating—learning essentials such as safe falls and breaking techniques. Once these fundamentals are mastered, the main focus is on the dance part: taking your first steps on roller skates for a fun and engaging experience while enjoying the movement.
A limited number of rental skates is available. Registration/fee is required.
