Exploring outer space is no flight of fantasy for the Figure Skating Club of the Quad Cities as it brings "Out of This World" to the ice. The Spring Ice Show, set for Sunday, April 7, 2013 will feature figure skating programs themed around rockets, starships, sci-fi and much more.  Picture stormtroopers on skates or little purple people-eaters gliding on ice.  More than 75 local skaters, ranging from preschoolers to seniors, will showcase their themed artistic programs.  Individual, group and synchronized skating numbers will be performed.  A guest performance by U.S. senior level ice dance team, Kseniya Ponomaryova and Oleg Altukhov, rounds out the show.  The team, hailing from Naperville, Illinois recently competed at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships held in Omaha in January 2013.

This event will be taking place at The River's Edge in Davenport Iowa. It is sponsored in part by the Davenport Parks & Recreation Department and Figure Skating Club of the Quad Cities. Like a walk on the moon, this is an exclusive ONE show ONLY event, on Sunday, April 7th at 2:00 p.m.

Out of This World admission will be taken at the door on show day.  Admission:  Adults $10.00, Students/seniors $5.00 and Preschoolers and younger FREE. Seating is limited and available on first arrival basis.  Jackets are recommended for the coolest seats on this planet.  Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the show starting at 2:00 p.m.

Figure skating is a sport one can participate in individually or as a member of a team, for recreation or competitively, throughout one's life. It is fun, creative and challenging. It involves the development, practice and execution of skills that one progressively learns and builds on over time. Learning skills and mastering those skills is an especially important part of child development.

Class sessions are 45 minutes once a week for seven weeks at the River's Edge. Each session fee is $105 and includes skate rental. There are a variety of classes based on skill levels.  Classes are offered Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings.  Sign up before Feb 1 and only pay $85!
