2010 Ice Revue

Our Ice Revue, is a bi-annual unique Skating Show within our own community, where every skater is eligible to participate. We are able to showcase an entire range of skating abilities and skills, from little ones making their first strides on the ice, to our more seasoned skaters, many of whom are now are able to perform double jumps!

The show is a culmination of the entire season’s hard work on both the coaches and skaters behalf. It is a colourful, musical extravaganza featuring professional lighting, full costumes for all participants, and a theme that unifies all the acts into a magnificent story choreographed by our Skate Canada certified coaches.

Our Ice Show provides our skaters with the opportunity to not only keep active, but also to exhibit their grace and confidence through the experience of performing for an audience. They prepare for the Ice Show through the sound leadership of our friendly and proud coaching staff, who provide our skaters not only with the physical challenge of learning difficult skating skills, but also an environment to present and showcase those learned skills within a team of their skating peers.
Our skaters were very excited about and performed beautifully in the last Ice Revue Show in 2008 called “Skater’s Choice Awards”.

This year’s Revue will have a wonderful yet to be determined, entertaining theme, and will be a must see event for all parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family, colleagues and friends.

We all look forward to sharing this special time with you.
