Dunedin Ice Stadium, Saturday/Sunday 12-13 Dec 2009
Prince Phillip (Grant Howie) and Princess Aurora (Lisa Stevens) display beautiful grace and poise in a scene from the Dunedin Ice Skating Club's Christmas ice show Sleeping Beauty on Ice held at the Dunedin Ice Stadium this afternoon.
A packed stadium audience were treated to an ice dance spectacular with over 100 junior skaters and 40 competitive adult skaters portraying the story of Sleeping Beauty adapted to the ice rink.
Months of planning, hours of practice, thousands of yards of fabric, hundreds of dedicated skaters, millions of sequins and two wonderfully crazy directors come together to bring this unique version of a traditional tale, set to modern music and coupled with the grace and speed of figure skating.

It's all go in the dressing rooms before the show with mums and dads, or family friends, helping with doing up the boot laces, fixing the hair or putting on the makeup. Those who are ready have time to pose for a quick photo.
