Lanham Skate Center The vibrant blue-and-red exterior of this Prince George’s County rink hints at the liveliness inside. A dance party on wheels erupts during recurring special events: gospel night, adult night, the requisite birthday parties. Arcade games beep in the background as skaters of all ages and skill levels zoom by; the Lanham center is a popular practice destination for local clubs. Many come for “jam skating,” an entertaining blend of dance, gymnastics and roller skating. Picture a break dancer on wheels.
The Metro Rollers are based at Lanham Seabrook Skate Center, Laurel Skate Center and Wheels Skate Center of Odenton, all in Maryland.
