A crowd of more than a thousand was left breathless as they witnessed a spectacular show of throws and lifts, exciting aerial gymnastics and bold fire effects at the first ever ice show in the area. The wonderful grounds in Stanford’s Burghley House played host to Sleeping Beauty on Ice, an Imperial Stars production. The event took place inside the Tented Ice Palace for the first time in history.

The crowd turned up in large numbers and was left speechless as the dancers performed on the specially designed ice skating rink. The performance was accompanied by full theatrical lighting, beautiful costumes and lavish sets.

The performance was set on Tchaikovsky’s wonderful score. The ice show tells the classic love story through a breath taking ice dancing performance that includes throws and speed lifts, fire effects and stilt skating.

The cast of 23 included World, Olympic, National and European Championship ice skaters. The audience was gripped by the performance of these professional ice skaters. The choreography for the performance was done by former Olympic medallist and World Champion Ilia Averbukh and Tony Mercer.

The event was a sell-out on the opening night itself and the organisers were happy with the turnout. People who witnessed the performance were delighted and the organisers received a lot of positive feedback.
