(5 Performances over 3 days)

  Not long until our show!!

Gosport Ice Show has been running every year since the Christmas of 1991. The original aim of the show was to enhance the children’s confidence of performing in front of an audience, but it was also an opportunity to show the skater’s parents how much they had improved over the year. From this original simple aim, the present format of the show has grown immensely; not only to allow the skaters to show their skill as accomplished sports people, but teaches them to work as a team; to a disciplined structure, and learn that working hard can be fun.

Each year has shown a wide variety of skills, skaters and ages taking part. From skaters that are new to the discipline, to skaters that have been practicing for years and have taken the National Ice Skating Association test structure to very high levels. We have skaters that compete locally in Gosport Ice Club competitions as well as skaters that compete across the country. One skater especially has represented England in a national competition. The age range in our shows is 5 to 70yr olds – with each and every one of these skaters showing the same amount of enthusiasm.

We started off with one performance at Christmas, and have grown over the years to 5 performances over 3 days. We could not carry out any of these shows without the help of volunteers, who help backstage putting props onto the ice, getting skaters onto the ice on time, and not forgetting the people who control the lights and music. The show involves many different people, not just the skaters, but also people that have a great interest in skating – the parents, grandparents and friends of the family, who all volunteer their time to help the show go on over the 5 performances.

'Who are we?'

The show auditions prospective cast members in May this year, where the skaters' skill levels vary from those who have learnt to skate recently to people who have come to the area, seen a show and decided to be a part of it and those who return every year having continued to improve, This year the standard of skater is wide and varied, from Novice to Gold Standard and this variety is only matched by the age range of 5 to 70,

From our humble start of one show, this yearly event has grown to 5 shows over 3 days, which is no mean feat both for skater and helpers,

The Cast, Production team, and Helpers all learn to work together, recognising that we all have something to give, The young skaters respect the older skaters and the older ones encourage them to go that extra yard (or is that metre?),

At the end of the Sunday night performance, everyone is exhilarated, tired and thinking, 'how are we going to better that?'

That is who we are, a bunch of people who enjoy skating,
