Typically, your skater will get a program with Theatre and run through it with the group every week. We expect them to practice the program for at least an hour every week. Whether they want to work with their coach for this or do it on their own is up to them. Some private coaches want to help with this, others want to focus on other areas. Often if they have a coach that has done Theatre on Ice before it is good to let the coach know and they can help with moves, and overall expressiveness since it’s different from other sports, and most similar to ice dance, freestyle, and acting.
