What a wonderful way to end the World Championships and the 2024/2025 season! Deniss received a season’s best score and an incredible standing ovation. Thank you, Boston for all the support!

Even a hard competition day is better with therapy dogs. Thank you to the ISU for setting up a “calm zone” in the skaters’ hotel!

Give the February step a try!
This is another very accessible step but you can always challenge yourself to acheive precision, quality and the correct rhythm. Have fun!
