Question
Hi,
My name is Sofie Roberg and I'm a figure skater from Sweden. I'm trying to apply for Disney's World On Ice. Is there any more Shows I can try to apply for? Do you have contact name and email/mail adress to Holiday On Ice? I do all double jumps and are real good at spins.
Thanks for helping me,

Kind regards
Sofie

Answer
Hi,
All the shows have a web site!  There are links to most production companies in the "Skate Web".
Check it out!  Most will need a video when you apply (and make sure you are physically suited for show skating!  They will weigh you!)
Good luck!
Dianne

Expertise

I can answer questions about figure skating, choreography, ISI or USFSA. Also questions about competing (my Olympic experience or your own competition). I`m a National referre for ISI. Recently I also have been appointed a National Technical Specialist for US Figure Skating. But remember I am not your substitute for a coach! They can see what you are doing! To correct or instruct you on manuevers is really not what I want to do.
