Solo | Features | Duet/Trio Registration Options:
In addition to the group show numbers, Club Skaters have the option to sign up for a solo, feature or duet/trio. Skaters interested in these numbers will have minimum requirements they are expected to achieve during the preceding calendar year (Jan-Dec 2019). These requirements help to establish that a skater has the experience to perform at the level expected for the show. Skaters will be required to log their skating hours through the Club provided laptop and provide proof of competition/test registration as requested. The Club will communicate to Skaters throughout the year with their total skating hours so that skaters may track their progress. Skaters MUST skate their required hours or pay the cost of hours not skated based on the current rates ($14/hour). Skaters will be cast into roles by the Show Director based on the same overall skating abilities as listed above for the group numbers. Skaters agree to accept any role for which they are cast. There are no additional costs for skaters to perform in a solo, feature, duet or trio expect for the costs of the costumes.
