The Kent Artistic Roller Dance Club (kardc) regularly skates in the Medway Towns, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and surrounding areas in Kent. The Club is affiliated to the Federation of Artistic Roller Skating (FARS) and holds an annual open artistic roller dance skating competition (held under FARS regulations).

Kent Artistic Roller Dance Club was formed in January 1989 and has been part of the community of Kent Towns ever since. It has many marked achievements over the years, which is a testament to the dedication of the Coach, the Committee and all the Skaters of today and previously. Many of kardc's skaters have achieved National and International status, which Kent can be truly proud of. Its not just about being competitive, as skaters and parents/guardians who come into contact with kardc will no doubt agree. Its as much about team spirit, learning new skills, enjoying sport and making friends.

Please feel free to explore our website, and if a first time visitor explore a little about the enjoyable sport of artistic roller skating and all that kardc has to offer.

The breadth of artistic skating is also reflected in the diversity of its members. Skaters of all ages and gender are attracted to artistic skating, finding any number of challenges to inspire them to reach individual goals - from a beginner’s class to world-championship level. This diversity, both in appeal and participants, has made artistic roller skating a division of competitive roller skating in the United Kingdom.

Skaters enter artistic events in one or more categories: Figures, Singles Freestyle, Pairs Freestyle and Dance. They are judged on content and manner of performance. This includes the skater's ability to do the identifiable, difficult content items, like jumps, spins and footwork; while utilising those movements in artistic interpretation of the accompanying music.
