Once Upon a Time...

This year’s Spring recital is focused on the fairytales and fantasies that bring imagination to life. For inspiration, think of the story books you grew up with, the ones that can still take us to far-off lands where anything can happen. You’re welcome to perform a solo, duet, trio or with a team.  Sign up now and join the fun!

*If you would like thematic music but need ideas or suggestions, please let me or your coach know and I can send you a list of fun songs to consider.

Production Numbers

Production numbers are a lot of fun! It is a group of skaters performing together. With a coach/choreographer leading the way, skaters may do elements in unison, create cool on-ice formations, sequence different skill elements or play off each other to deliver a fun thematic performance! It’s a great way to skate, have fun, make friends, try something new, and get in front of a crowd! Production numbers also involve costumes and music; the coach for your number will take the lead on music selection and facilitating costumes for the skaters. (please allow $25-$40 for costumes).

*Production numbers need a minimum of 6 skaters each (if you register and the number gets cancelled, you will receive a full refund).

For those who are new to skating, this is a fun opportunity to come watch skaters perform a program they've been practicing.  A program is a combination of skating elements put to music, usually with an outfit to match.  Many of these skaters work for weeks and months, sometimes years to perfect the details of their performances.  If you are interested in performing but don't know where to start, please contact us!
