An ice show is an
entertainmentproduction which is primarily performed by
ice skaters.[1][2] Such shows may primarily be skating
exhibitions, or may be
musical and/or
dramatic in nature, using skating as a
medium in order to accompany a musical work or to present a story. The term generally excludes skating competitions in (professional) sports. Many companies produce fixed or touring ice shows, which are then performed for the general public in facilities such as multipurpose

skating rinks which can accommodate spectators, or in
theatres with a temporary ice surface installed on the stage. Ice shows are also featured as entertainment in
amusement parks and on some large
