The event begins with a reception from 7 to 7:45 pm, followed by the viewing of the one-hour special, and a brief Q&A with Doug Webster following the show. The event is free and open to the public. (Donations to Labrie Family Skate at Puddle Dock Pond are welcome.) Figtree Kitchen Café will be open for the purchase of refreshments, including wine and beer. According to Ice Dance International, “The World of Ice Dance International is hosted by beloved skating personalities JoJo Starbuck and Ryan Bradley [one of the stars of this year’s “Winter Ice Dances” show at Strawbery Banke] and introduces public television viewers to a unique and revolutionary celebration on ice of two beloved art forms: figure skating and dance.” Stellar Adventure Media filmed the special outdoors against the mountains of Sun Valley, Idaho, creating a program combining the repertoire of Ice Dance International with guest appearances by beloved American skating icons, Dorothy Hamill, JoJo Starbuck, and Dick Button along with a master of American ballet, Edward Villella and IDI Artistic Director Douglas Webster. The audience journeys through stunning performances choreographed by Mr. Webster and Mr. Villella, ranging from the classical Balanchine ballet traditions to a contemporary work with music by Moby. The program also includes documentary segments on Sun Valley, Edward Villella, and John Curry, the 1976 Olympic Champion who started the movement of ensemble skating over 40 years ago.Date & Time

Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.
