How To Become a Professional Disney on Ice Figure Skater

Our Girl Scouts Interview with a Disney on Ice Professional Figure Skater

Hi friends, how have you been? We've had quiet the week! Our youngest daughter, along with her Girl Scout Troop, had the opportunity to interview a professional figure skater with Disney on Ice. The entire night was pure magic! My favorite part? When this young woman began the interview by sharing that she was a Girl Scout too! 

"What made you choose this career?" - Charlotte

Read on for additional video footage from our interview, photos and MORE!

As a troop, we're spending the next year venturing out with this group of young girls (ages 8-10) exploring potential future career options.  Inspiring the next generation of young women to dream big, one interview and experience at a time! 

Our girls began the night at the Prudential Center with a fun character meet and greet, and a one-on-one interview with a professional Disney on Ice figure skater. What an experience! These girls were amazing. This group of young Brownies are just 8 years old. They each delivered their questions with confidence, and the conversation flowed easily. 

"When did you start skating? How old were you?" - Elara

This young woman was inspired by her mother, who is also a professional figure skater, to take to the ice at just 4 years old. She's been skating ever since! During our interview, she shared that she had her heart set on trying to make it to Disney on Ice from a very young age. Having now performed in over 23 countries with Disney on Ice, she's living her dream! 

"How often do you practice?"

"Do you travel a lot? How many countries have you performed in?" - Milian

"What made you go down this career path?"-Samiya

After our interview was complete, it was time to watch our new friend in action on the ice! The girls sat mesmerized by the performance, as they watched the theatrics and physical feats that were unfolding. They were observing with a fresh perspective and appreciation, for all that it took for these figure skaters, to achieve their dream of skating with Disney on Ice. 

As I sat there taking in all of the expressions on the girls faces and the happenings of the night, I heard one of the girls from our troop singing along with the crowd. She was belting out "How far I'll Go" from Moana, as the figure skaters glided and leapt around the ice below. When the show was over, she turned to her mom and said, "I didn't know I could do something like this, I want to try it!" 

That moment was everything. That's what this journey and series with our young Girl Scouts is all about! Teaching young girls to explore the world around them, to set goals early and to ultimately live out their dreams. I'm so excited to see how far they all will go!

Disney on Ice: Let's Dance showcased awe-inspiring figure skating and choreography that captured each Disney storyline with precision. Aerial gymnastics and stilts on ice included. Just WOW! A definite must-see show.

Pure magic, great night!
