Meet Our New Artistic Technical Advisor!

Meet Debbie Berg

This January, as we focus on “It Starts With a Beat,” we celebrate the teachers who first counted us in. Debbie Berg is one of those rare mentors whose rhythm stays with you long after the music changes.

Debbie is one of those rare teachers whose influence reaches far beyond the rink. Her knowledge, standards, and deep respect for the craft of roller skating have shaped generations of skaters—including many of us who now pass that legacy forward. Having Debbie involved in our program is both an honor and a gift, and we’re thrilled to introduce her to our skating community as our new Technical Advisor for the El Centro Artistic Team.

Debbie Berg has been teaching roller skating since 1979, bringing more than four decades of experience, wisdom, and passion to the rink. Over the years, she has trained and mentored hundreds of skaters—from those nervously taking their very first steps to competitive athletes striving for championship-level excellence.

A National Judge and respected coach, Debbie has guided many skaters to success at both regional and national levels. Equally meaningful to her is watching skaters grow beyond the rink. She takes great pride in seeing former students carry the discipline, confidence, and determination learned through skating into their personal and professional lives—whether in business, education, leadership, or the arts.

For Debbie, roller skating is far more than a sport; it is a lifelong passion and a powerful teaching tool. She remains deeply committed to developing not only strong skaters, but resilient, capable individuals prepared to meet life’s challenges with grace and grit. She will be assisting with Classes and taking reservations for private lessons beginning in January. Please help us welcome Debbie to our team!
