We're thrilled to offer a FREE "Try Theater on Ice" workshop on Tuesday, 3/4 545-645pm.

This exciting FREE opportunity is open to Aspire 1-4 skaters through Excel Preliminary 7-14 years old.

Theatre On Ice (TOI) blends the artistry of figure skating with storytelling, music, and emotion to create captivating performances. Skaters work as a team, incorporating Choreographic Processes and Gestures—key elements from the Choreographic Dictionary—to bring their theme to life on the ice. With teams of 8 to 24 skaters, TOI emphasizes seamless movement, expressive interpretation, and dynamic group choreography to create a sense of harmony and balance in every performance.

Coach Sandra will lead this awesome Workshop and she's excited to share her many years of TOI experience with you.

Please register through DaySmart (no fee) to help us with an accurate headcount going into the event. You'll find a TOI tab under Registrations. Parents: please make sure to register your skater and not yourself!

Workshop skaters should dress warmly in layers and in ALL BLACK.
We can’t wait to see you on the ice and bring stories to life together!

We'll host an Adult Sectional and State Games Exhibition on Tuesday, 3/11 from 545-645pm for adult competitors.

We'll host a State Games Exhibition (for non-adults) on Saturday, 3/15 from 10-1145am.

Skaters who wish to participate in Exhibitions will register through DaySmart. Participation fees will be $15 per person.

Skaters are encouraged to wear competition attire.

Please find registration in DaySmart under "Private Lesson Students 2025."
