ABOUT US
ARS Artistic Roller Skating
Ars was founded in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2009, by head coach Diana Sanchez, with a mission to promote her passion for artistic skating and develop athletes from recreational to professional levels. She has trained over 1,000 athletes of all ages, some recognized for their achievements in national and international competitions. Since its founding, the organization has organized showcases, invitationals, workshops, and social projects, bringing skating to vulnerable communities and making the sport accessible to everyone.
Breakthroughs such as participation in international competitions since 2013 and representation at the Artistic Skating World Cup in 2019 highlight ARS’ journey of excellence.
In 2023, ARS took a bold step by expanding its vision to Canada, opening a new chapter in its history. This initiative aims to inspire a new generation of skaters and build a vibrant culture of artistic skating in Canada. ARS seeks to demonstrate that this sport is not just about discipline but also a unique blend of resilience, technique, creativity, self expression growth, and community.
ARS specializes in freestyle, figures, pairs, and show skating, emphasizing a holistic and human-centered approach to training.
