Spring Ice Show
- Dates: March 15 - 16, 2019
- Venue: Bloomington Ice Garden
The ice show usually takes place in March with a registration deadline in early December.
All Bloomington skate school members are invited and encouraged to participate in the annual spring ice show. Skaters of all abilities, gender, skating level, and age participate in the show every year. It is a great time for the skaters to showcase their skills for family and friends.
By registering for the show, you also agree to register for the session preceding the ice show when registration for that session begins. If you sign up for the show and do not attend the session preceding the show, you will not be able to skate in the show. Please contact Skate School Director Rene with any questions.
Skaters will be placed into show groups based on their level and age at registration time.
