The 2018 show will be the fourth collaboration with Ice Dance International to bring professional skaters to the Labrie Family Skating Rink. The skaters perform at this nostalgic outdoor rink, which is surrounded by historic homes set on the beautiful Puddle Dock campus in downtown Portsmouth. To maximize opportunities to showcase the skaters and their talents, an open dress rehearsal will be held and several elementary classes will be invited to watch as well as skate in a mini-lesson following the show. An advanced clinic for area skaters will be offered. To highlight the Olympic year, plans are underway to include a panel discussion.
