It combines the grace of figure skating with the excitement of theater and dance. Teams consist of 8 to 30 skaters. The programs are judged by US Figure Skating judges and are evaluated using a Component Judging System (CJS) that rewards originality, costuming, artistry and musicality. Theatre On Ice consists of two programs: The Free Skate and the Choreographic Exercise (CE). Why Theatre On ice?
