2026-2027 THEATRE ON ICE COLLEGIATE TEAM & THEATRE ON ICE EXHIBITION TEAM

About Theatre On Ice: 
Theatre On Ice is a discipline of figure skating that blends the athleticism of skating with the dramatic and artistic elements of theater and dance. Together, the team of 8-24 skaters collaborate to tell a story or express a theme through skating, choreography, and music. It provides an outlet for figure skaters who are more artistically inclined or who want to experience the team-based camaraderie that is often lacking in individual competition.

About Competitions: 
A Theater On Ice competition consists of two programs:
Choreographic Exercise - Similar to a traditionally known, “short program”, this program is focused on the team demonstrating required movements and using body language to convey a theme.
Free Skate - Similar to a traditionally known, “long program”, this program is more elaborate and incorporates theatrical flair with technical elements. The team will use costuming, props, and scenery to enhance their storytelling.

Must be a part time or full time college student
