My favorite was Aloha Skate Palace in South San Jose on a Monday night -
Great songs, good crowd.

I've heard nice things about the Aloha Roller Palace. I've never been
there but I've heard that it's a real skate scene, especially on Friday
nights. The place is said to be large.

The Roxy is home of the current world Dance champions. It is a real
energetic environment. I like it a lot except the owners don't really
take care of the skating surface.
[ Rod Allen <Rod.Allen@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM> ]
The Golden Skate Roller Palace (I believe), which was known as Aloha and
then as Roxy's, is located on Blossom Hill Road near the intersection with
Snell. It has world-class skaters and sends numerous skaters to nationals
every year. The head coach is Larry Chopp.
[ DSnowden@earthlink.net (Dave Snowden) ]
The Aloha Skating Club in South San Jose has a very large artistic club.
I think Tuesday nights they have a public dance session.
[ web gleanings ]
Five years ago Doug, his mom and dad, Kay & Ralph Wait, and Larry Chop
were at Aloha Roller Palace in San Jose while I was still teaching there.
My last contact was with Trey [Knight], one of Larry's students, said
that Ralph and then Kay dropped out of teaching and that Larry was in
charge of the Classes/Lessons The owners have changed several time since the Martins
first opened the rink in 1976.
