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.
The 2026-2027 season, we will have a collegiate and youth exhibition team. The youth exhibition team will not compete during the 2026-2027 season, however they will participate in the UD Spring Show in may of 2027.
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.
