Dance is always mesmerizing to watch, but this weekend you can see incredible feats of movement—on ice! The Ice Theatre of New York will perform on May 2, 3 and 5 at the Sky Rink at Chelsea Pier 61.
The one-hour program consists of nine short ice dance performances, a blend of transfixing, lyrical and whimsical creative pieces. One performance is set to a recording of birdsong, while another was inspired by the dancer's experience aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker in the Arctic. Yet another performance features three performers interconnected by a white sheath that requires their skillful collaboration.
Ice Theatre of New York is the first nonprofit ice dance company in the U.S., and it's celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
