What is Theatre on Ice?
A competitive team, new to the U.S., using all aspects of
figure skating, incorporating a theme, emotion or story, enhanced by
music. Theatre on Ice teams utilize theatrical sets, props, and
costumes along with music and choreography to tell a story. Skaters are
judged as a collaborative group on their artistic quality, technical
skills and relationship with each other and the audience. Skaters are
challenged artistically, dramatically and technically in a supportive
group atmosphere. The experience of being part of a team offers a
positive social experience for competitive skaters whose training can
be intense and lonely, or skaters who prefer to compete and perform in
a group.
Who are we?
The Colonial Broadway Blades,
a first year 2010 Senior Team, recently qualified to represent the
U.S.A. next April at the second Official Nation’s Cup. Our 2011 Senior
Team will be competing in Hyannis, MA against seasoned (10+ years)
European teams as well as our own country’s qualifiers. Our team’s
impressive first year started with two gold medals at the North Shore
Open and finished in Troy, Ohio with a silver medal finish at Nationals
and silver and bronze medals at the International Competition. We
cannot wait to proudly represent the U.S.A.!
What is the commitment?
The Broadway Blades
meet Thursdays from 5:30 – 8:00 PM. During the 2010-2011 season, we
will start on ice for 1.5 hours and follow up with 50 minutes of
off-ice training.
Other commitments
include exhibitions, shows, competitions, workshops, send-off and photo
