<p>Life-long skaters have Cascade Family Skating on their bucket lists. The Atlanta roller rink, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/t-i-kevin-samuels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">famously the backdrop of the movie &#8216;ATL,&#8217;</a> was the venue of choice for Netflix&#8217;s private &#8220;Skater Things&#8221; soiree. As the Managing Editor of <em>TSR,</em> I was invited, and my curiosity was satisfied.</p>
<p>I pulled up to the event on behalf of <em>The Shade Room</em> with no expectations and felt a sense of recognition on behalf of the southwest Atlanta community by the time I departed in my SUV.</p>

<p>There was a tight security check ahead of visitor parking. People without a special invite from Netflix had their cars turned around before getting down the ramp into the main parking area.</p>
<p>My face lit up at the &#8216;Skater Things&#8217; signage before stepping into the building, lined with more reminders of the forthcoming &#8220;Stranger Things 4&#8221; season coming to Netflix at the end of the month.</p>
<p>Some Atlanta stars were in the building, but the event itself was a nod to the Atlanta skate community at its core.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Skaters &; Celebrities Pulled Up To Cascades For &#8216;Skater Things&#8217;</h3>
<p>Inside, the atmosphere was cheery. Those I assumed to be regulars casually performing their choreographed skate routines in bold-colored outfits. I recognized Kamille, a professional roller skating instructor who is considered somewhat of a phenom because of her dance style in the skating community.</p>
<p>Before she went<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CXMeiLPJ5w6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> viral on Instagram,</a> <strong>Kamille</strong> stamped herself as THE skate instructor for Cascades, also serving as a personal instructor for Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys in the past.</p>

<p><strong>Priah Ferguson</strong>, star of &#8220;Stranger Things 4,&#8221; posed with Kamille, who told me the two have history. Ferguson grew up in the same area where the legendary skating center is, and her mother has a relationship with Kamille.</p>

<p>There was a step and repeat for stars to take photos, which I completely missed since I was distracted by the &#8220;regular&#8221; excitement inside. Priah also posed alongside singer<strong> Summer Walker</strong> and &#8220;Stranger Things 4&#8242; co-star <strong>Myles Truitt.</strong></p>
<p>Other notable guests of the evening included <strong>Omeretta The Great</strong> and <strong>Diamond ATL</strong> of Crime Mob fame.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Although stars were in the building, the highlight of the evening was the overall atmosphere. A dance battle between two skaters from different crews ignited on the skating floor. This brought together the whole party for a spontaneous show. The Cascade Skate Crew also performed a skating routine to the 1980s hit “Sunglasses at Night” by Corey Hart.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Guests Previewed &#8216;Stranger Things 4&#8217;</h3>
<p>The night seemed to wind down with Netflix dimming the lights. They shared an extended trailer for &#8220;Stranger Things 4&#8221; right on the skate floor. Guest wheeled in, taking a criss-cross seat style, in front of a projector. Lightening effects were blasting on the ceiling as the footage rolled.</p>

<p>I got a keepsake photo from the night, courtesy of Strong Black Lead, Netflix&#8217;s sub-brand aiming to amplify Black voices. Overall, I had a blast, and so did my two middle school guests. Thank you, Netflix, for the memories. <img class="alignnone size-daze_wrapper_width wp-image-89379" src="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/image_1.jpg?w=1066" alt="" width="1066" height="1280" /></p>
