Glacial grace comes to town

On December 7 the ice-skating group Champions on Ice comes to Warsaw for its final performance in Poland. Throughout November, the skaters have been strutting their icy stuff in Gdańsk, Lublin, Toruń and Wrocław, before winding up in the capital two weeks before Christmas. The performance is suitable for the whole family, and should appeal particularly to music lovers and dance fanatics. Fans of fantasy and frivolity will also be amused by the show, as set pieces include a complex acrobatics display, featuring Captain Jack and Austin Powers, as well as a routine entitled Pink Panther.

Champions on Ice comprises a total of 19 international skaters from countries including Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Armenia, France, and the US.

The skaters are of the highest caliber. Aleksey Jagudin of Russia took the gold medal in the Salt Lake City Olympics and will perform his routine, Winter, as part of the spectacle. Irina Grigorian of the US has already wowed the crowds in Las Vegas with her Hula Hop on ice. Of particular interest are the two home-grown stars, Polish champions Dorota Zagórska and Mariusz Siudek. They represent the best of Polish talent and have won 21 medals at various competitions.

The show lasts two hours and will be hosted by the largest ice-rinks in Poland. For more information, contact marta@makroconcert.com.
