Families can glide and twirl to soul music at the 16th annual Soul on Ice Winter Skating Party, a fund-raiser for figure skating in Harlem. Competitive figure skater Sharon Cohen founded the organization in 1997 to help young girls learn how to ice skate and to boost their confidence and leadership skills. In addition to rink time, the party will feature live music, snacks, activities, raffle prizes (including a Nintendo Wii and an iPod Touch) and a performance by FSH’s synchronized-skating team, Harlem Ice. All ages.
