Heads up Italy! I’m excited to announce that I will be going on tour with @IceShow_Italy next month. The first show in Brunico will be extra special; you won’t want to miss it 😉 🇮🇹
Yuzuru Hanyu’s ‘Ice Story’ appearing on Disney feels, to me, like the start of an era where a well-produced, live-to-tape skating exhibition can be picked up by a streaming platform and delivered to new audiences. Who’s with me on this?
A thread: Glimpse into a new project with Olympic medalists @MadiHubbell & @GabriellaPks, working together to show that the sport of ice dance has room for partnerships of any gender.
Part 1, Opening Sequence, set to “Why Try to Change Me Now” by Fiona Apple.

Then on Sunday I’m attending the ‘Dick Button Festival of Artistic Skating’ in Lake Placid, NY, featuring many great contemporary skating companies. Skaters of all levels are encouraged to come and participate in clinics, workshops and live performances. lakeplacidlegacysites.com/ev…
This weekend I’m attending two big events: The first is Saturday, Oct 1st, with @IceDanceInt at Richard Codey Arena in West Orange, NJ. They’re hosting a skating clinic at 4pm followed by their ‘Grace’ performance at 7. Tickets: icedanceinternational.org/up…
I made a GIF of the final approach of @NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission, just before it impacted the moon of a near-earth asteroid at 17 times the speed of sound. Video sped up 118x (and looped, obviously).
