Stars on Ice

This is Kurt Browning, performing "luck be a Lady" by Frank Sinatra. But, look closely at his skates; he's skating in hockey skates!  It was very impressive.  My favourite performance of the night, by FAR! "This skate dance was choreographed for the 'Battle of the Blades' show. As in his 1998 "Moby Dick" number, Kurt proved his ability to do astonishing footwork and even salchow and axel jumps in hockey blades, and proved that it was possible to look smooth and elegant in hockey skates."  (kurtfiles.com)

This is the first time I've ever sat in a box at GM Place. (it was the lower box, so we had a great view) Thanks to Liz, we got to see this amazing show for free. I think as a kid, I remember watching Stars on Ice, so this isn't a first, but it felt like one, as it's been years since I've seen any professional skaters in person.  If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth seeing once in your life if you enjoy figure skating. I was far more impressed by the doubles performance because of the lifts, and jumps, and fancy moves. The solos were a bit slow. (except for Kurt of course!)

2010 marks the 20th year of the Stars on Ice tour in Canada, and the 20th year that Kurt Browning will have been a part of Stars on Ice. I am so happy we got to see him perform.
