Cost for the program is $10/hr class and a $40 Derby Por Vida membership fee, which covers the cost of USARS insurance from January-December 2010.  We provide some gear and skates to borrow while you try out Derby Por Vida classes, but please bring your own wrist guards and mouthguards.  All classes are located at the L.A. Derby Dolls' Doll Factory at 1910 W Temple Street, Los Angeles. Parking is available in the lot with an entrance off Westlake Avenue.
