The story of "Theatre on Ice" at the Iceplex

Our junior team "THE SPACE COAST HURRICANES" is where we started out 5 years ago, bringing together all the higher level figure skaters and working them as a team on Saturday mornings at 6am. We have since competed in the International Theatre On Ice Event for 5 consecutive years and Nationals for 2 years. These events are what our team skaters look forward to every year.

In 2007, we came home with our first GOLD MEDAL as INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR CHAMPIONS with our interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland" and in 2008 the Novice and Junior and teams won 3 GOLD MEDALS at the International event in Vermont. Click here for the full report.

For 2008, the Space Coast 'FROZEN" Hurricanes adult team formed  and in their second competitive season, the team finished in 2nd place at 2009 Nationals and Internationals. This is a huge improvement since there first performance in 2008. Also the team qualified for World Championships too so a lot of excitement amongst our adults skaters.  There are new adults joining us all the time, a lot of them are Moms of the younger team members. If you are interested in becoming a "Frozen Hurricane" please contact Coach Katie.

 

CLASS STRUCTURE

Weekly group class sessions cover off ice warm up techniques, basic skating skills, musical timing, interpretation, arm development and specialized skating movements. For even the beginner, all these components are essential in building a strong all round skater.

Additionally, time is spent during each session developing Theatre On Ice style routines which are performed in full costume at the regular Iceplex recitals.  To participate in this program, the skater will need to be committed to participate in our four recitals and the annual Holiday Show. The skaters will also be required to meet the costuming costs (which are kept to a minimum) for each event.

RECITALS

As a guideline, recitals are scheduled

during the following month:

	February - "Valentine's"
	May - "Parent's Appreciation"
	August - "Back to School"
	October - "Halloween"
	December - "Holiday Show"
