The show is about a friendly competition between four sisters to judge who is the best. They are all different in nature but each has their own qualities and is loved for different reasons.
Spring is the youngest, friendliest and the most popular amongst the four. Summer is warm and fun and everyone loves her. The third sister, Autumn, is very shy but her confidence is growing year by year. Winter, the eldest, is seen as cold and miserable but those who know her well know her fun, loving side.
Each season will have skaters performing to well known songs, Not only will there be Learn to Skate participants performing but we have some very special guests including national champions, world competitors and Olympians.
There will also be Christmas carols from Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre’s popular over 55s club choir, The Divatones. As well as a charity raffle, and mince pies, mulled wine and other festive treats at the Ice Cafe.
The cast list
Learn to skate programme
We have 65 skaters, ranging from 7 years old to adults, dancing on ice to Michael Jacksons classic ‘Thriller’. Traditionally a popular routine, it gives the skaters a chance to have a bit of fun and show off what they have been learning in their lessons every week.
Streatham’s Learn to Skate program is a weekly group course that runs on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon, Thursday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning. There is more information about lessons on the Better website.
Streatham Ice Dance Club
The Streatham Ice Dance Club is largely made up of our older skaters and regularly takes part in recreational ice dance leagues against other rinks. Many of the club members also compete in adult competitions both nationally and internationally throughout the year. The club meets every Thursday evening at 8.15pm and have chosen to showcase their talents to Nat King Coles ‘L-O-V-E’ for part of the Spring section of the show.
