What is TOI graphic.png

Theatre on Ice is a team sport that combines the athleticism of figure skating with the artistry of theatre.

Each summer, teams compete at the National Theatre on Ice competition in two programs: the Choreographic Exercise (CE) and the Free Skate. Theatre on Ice uses all aspects of figure skating to incorporate a theme, emotion, or a story enhanced by music.

Terms you might hear and what they mean:
