This year, off-ice training will supplement our on-ice time. Since we will perform on 3–4 different size and shape rinks throughout the season, off-ice practice is critical for cleaning programs and re-blocking routines for each venue.

Theatre On Ice (TOI)
Theatre On Ice combines the grace of figure skating with the excitement of theater and dance. Teams of 8–30 skaters perform programs that tell a story, with limited solo skating allowed to enhance the narrative. TOI welcomes both competitive and noncompetitive skaters, helping them grow technically, dramatically, and socially while building team and club spirit.

Benefits for Skaters:

• Boosts confidence in performances and competitions
• Develops the dramatic and expressive side of skating
• Offers teamwork opportunities while refining technical skills
• Encourages new friendships

Show Season Highlights:
Skaters showcase their skills at exciting events including Light Up Night, PPG Place Downtown Pittsburgh, Wheeling Symphony on Ice, Holiday Spectacular at ISC, and Dick’s House of Sports Holiday Exhibition.

Commitment & Attendance

Theatre on Ice requires full commitment to rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and performances. Absences make it difficult for coaches and skaters to maintain program quality.

• Skaters may not miss more than 2 rehearsals.
• Attendance is mandatory at all dress rehearsals.
• If a skater misses dress rehearsal for any reason, they will not be permitted to skate in the performances.
• No credits or refunds will be given for registration fees, costumes, or tickets.
