One exquisite art of ice

Ice theatre (or theatre on ice) is a branch of figure skating which merges the technical
jumps and spins with unique choreography, ice dancing, pairs moves, synchronized skating, and theater in order to tell a story or act out an emotion or idea. It is a relatively new branch of figure skating, but it is also growing quickly. Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) is a dance company committed to developing figure skating as a performing art. Founded in 1984 by Artistic Director, Moira North, ITNY is a non-competitive, artistic outlet for some of the top international figure skaters, with choreography commissions by innovative contemporary dance makers such as Jacqulyn Buglisi, Ann Carlson, David Dorfman, David Parsons, Joanna Mendl Shaw and more.
