The Theatre on Ice team from the IceWorks Skating Club in Aston, Delaware recently returned home after an incredible international experience in Bordeaux, France. This marked the first time that the team had competed internationally and they showcased a unique blend of dance and drama within the discipline of figure skating.
Twenty skaters had the opportunity to represent their country at the Nations’ Cup on April 25-26, joining over 900 skaters from 47 other teams. Skaters like Emily McKay, 16, and Gemma Hay, 15, found the experience both thrilling and intimidating as they competed against talented individuals from around the world.

Coach Richard Sharpe expressed immense pride in his team’s accomplishment and emphasized that their success exceeded all expectations at the international event. This exciting journey abroad brought back unforgettable memories for the skaters and the IceWorks Skating Club.
