San Diego Skater To Bring Disney Magic Home In Disney On Ice Tour

SAN DIEGO, CA — A San Diego skater is bringing Disney magic home this weekend.

Hannah Clark, a 25-year-old skater from La Mesa, shines in the pre-show character experience for Disney On Ice presents Let's Dance! The jam-packed production takes place Thursday through Sunday at Pechanga Arena San Diego.

"I think what makes Disney On Ice Let's Dance! so special is the audience interactions," Clark told Patch. "We have DJ Freeze come out before the show and interact with the crowd and encourage everyone to dance and sing along. We even have the lyrics up on the screen to help everyone sing along as well."

Clark started skating after her Girl Scout troop took a trip to the rink. She was 8 years old.

She began her journey with Disney on Ice in August 2024 after working with Disney Cruise Line. She has been part of the Let's Dance! cast for two Disney On Ice tours.

"I love the endless memories I'm making, not just for me, but for every family that gets to see this inspiring show," she said.

Disney On Ice presents Let's Dance! features the stories and songs from Disney films, along with ice skating, aerial acrobatics, stunts and special effects. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy are DJs in the show, remixing Disney tunes into colorful stories from "Frozen 2," "The Lion King," "The Little Mermaid," "Moana" and "Wish."

Clark is part of the pre-show character experience, which takes place an hour before the show and is a separate ticketed event.

"I get to greet families and interact with them through games and activities, and we have some very special sisters from Arendelle that join us as well," she said.

As for the ice show itself, Clark said there are special moments and fun surprises, including an appearance by Ariel and all of her six sisters. It's also the first Disney On Ice show to feature Stitch.

"Of course, there is so much more in store, but if you want to see more surprises, just come to the show," she said.

Shows for Disney On Ice presents Let's Dance! are scheduled at 7 p.m. Thursday; 7 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday at Pechanga Arena at 3500 Sports Arena Blvd. in San Diego.

Fans can enhance their Disney On Ice show ticket with a pre-show character experience that includes games, crafts, a sing-along and photo opportunities with Anna and Elsa. Each guest ages 2 and older must have both a character experience ticket and a Disney On Ice show ticket to attend.

Tickets can be purchased online at AXS.com or in-person at the venue box office.
