ICE SKATING AUSTRALIA
Theatre On Ice
TOI as it's affectionately known, combines elements of technical skill with the drama and spectacle of theatre, including story telling.
TOI Teams can vary with age level and team numbers up to 30 skaters.
It provides another enjoying team based discipline for skaters to take part in the sport, especially for those who thrive on expressing their artistic side.
The choreography is designed to include all levels of skating skill in a team and makes for an interesting mix of moves and presentation.

A Zoom Q&A session was hosted by APSA with Jean-Christophe Berlot and Kate McSwain. Jean-Christophe is an international TOI referee and seminar presenter. Kate McSwain is the co-CEO of American Ice Theatre and a TOI choreographer. JC and Kate imparted their extensive knowledge about TOI to an enthusiastic group of coaches and officials.
From the session there were clips that were shared to show various aspects of TOI performances. The program links have the time in the clip where to find them. Feel free to watch and enjoy.
