Yup, it's the Ocean. They turned the area by the stage into the rink, and the rest of the area was for dancing. I'd never been to that venue before but I quite liked it.
It was my first time at a roller disco, and the first time on rollerskates since I was, oh, 10? Thankfully, I remembered fairly quickly how to use it and saved myself the indignity of falling a hundred times in front of the crowd.
I spent most of the time worrying about Robin. :-/
My mother kitted me out in neon pink, yellow and green knee and elbow protectors and I think I may have had a helmet as well. I would have fallen a lot less if the older kids hadn't decided to pick on me and take every opportunity to knock me over. That kind of ruined roller discos for me for life.
Aww, roller discos! I used to go to one every Friday at the YMCA with my cousins when I was a kid. It was an amazing waste of Friday nights for a good couple of years.

I haven't been to a roller disco since I was six but your realisations are spot on the mark.
Poor robin! I hope he is okay.
