Returns to Disney on Ice - Finding Nemo

 

Club member Stacy Robertson has just returned to Florida in the United states to start rehearsals for  a new Disney on Ice tour of the states, Finding Nemo.
Before Stacy left we asked her if she would write an article for the club and would keep in-touch while she was training and touring.  Here is her story

Most of you may know me but for those who don’t my name is Stacey Robertson, I am 19 years old and I am here to share my story about what hard work and a huge amount of dedication can achieve.

Not everyone makes it to the Olympics or World Championships, but there is something else you can do with your work, just like me, Shows, such as Disney on Ice and Holiday on Ice.

In December 2008 I started my career in ice shows as a member of the chorus in Holiday on Ice, Bugs Bunny around the World in 80 Minutes, touring Europe for 3 months. I was then successful in being one of the main characters Speedy Gonzales in the show.

After being successful at auditions earlier this year I am now jetting off to America for 7 months to tour with Disney on Ice, Finding Nemo.

Touring and being part of ice shows is great but to get there it takes a lot of hard work and determination.  I feel by doing show and performing for the public I have done something with all my hard work and the money that’s gone into the sport and giving something back to my parents and coaches Jackie Coubrough and Melanie Doyle for all their hard work too.

Getting into shows isn’t easy you have to want it and not hold back. I couldn’t of done it without all their support so a big thank you to them. It’s such a great experience and so much fun, it really is something to aim for.
