Dreamland Roller Rink, 2008, Coney Island, Brooklyn

Posted on July 14, 2021March 7, 2023 by

So way back in 2008, my friend Amy Winn convinced me to go with her to check out the Dreamland roller rink in Coney Island. I think it was a fundraiser because it was threatened with closure?

I was blown away by the artistry of the rhythm skaters we saw. Here’s a bit of footage I shot.

Little did I know that 13 years later, I would be a part of that community. I’m so grateful I rediscovered this artform. And I need to know who the woman in red is!
