Summer Wrap Up 2016 – Heading Into Fall

What an amazing summer for skating it was! Great shows, clinics, events and blogging. This is full of exciting, new and free things we did this summer and what to look for in the fall. Here are a few of my favorites…RG

The Canadian National Exhibition – Toronto

“The Hit List” – a figure skating and acrobatic extravaganza based on number 1 hit songs spanning over the decades. The show ran for 17 straight days – with two shows a day and played to a packed houses every show!

Starring Canadian and World Champion, Elvis Stojko and Olympic Bronze Medalist, Joannie Rochette
