I Was a Disney on Ice Performer For the Day, and Here's What Happened

Just like the movie Frozen says, "Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold!" about ice, it rings true with working on the ice every day. There are so many things that can go wrong while working on the ice. When it comes to learning something new like a stunt or trick, the cast will start by doing the trick on tumbling mats. Then from the tumbling mats, cast members move to practice ice that's a bit more rough and textured than the regular show ice, then they practice the new trick on the slick show ice until it's perfect.
