Spring Show – Sunday, May 10, 2026, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Mark your calendars; our Spring Show is on the horizon! The theme is Blades In Bloom, and the music is skater’s choice. Music must be emailed to the club by Sunday, May 3rd. As always, the dress rehearsal will be the Saturday before the show (May 9) during freestyle (9:00 am – 11:00 am) and there will be a reception following the show. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.
Join us for a fun evening cheering on your favorite skater – and all his/her friends!
