Following the Olympic Games, Ice Dance International (IDI) announces The Seasons, a theatrical skating experience touring 14 U.S. Cities taking place from February 28 through March 21, 2026. The tour performs at Codey Arena in West Orange on March 6.
Olympic Champion Gabriella Papadakis headlines this celebration of artistry, athleticism, and speed, transforming the rink into a living stage. Papadakis is joined by two-time United States Champion Alissa Czisny and skating artist Rohene Ward, in a company of ten world-class skaters. The 90-minute long show is in four acts inviting the audience on a captivating journey.
IDI is a non-profit organization honoring the sport’s legacy while exploring new creative frontiers and providing skaters professional performance opportunities outside of competition. Founded in 2014 and based in rural Maine with connections to communities across the globe, IDI bridges ballet’s grace with skating’s power to create a unique performing art.
“The Seasons isn’t just a show—it’s a pulse, a spark, a reminder that when blades meet music and movement meets heart, the ice itself begins to sing. This is a rare chance to witness the possibilities of performance on ice,” remarks IDI Artistic Director Douglas Webster. IDI Board Member JoJo Starbuck adds, “Freed from rules and scores, skaters glide, fly, and soar! The Seasons is a breathtaking evening of art and athletics.”
The Seasons showcases repertory by world-renowned choreographers Trey McIntyre (choreographed for American Ballet Theatre, Hubbard Street Dance, founder of Trey McIntyre Project), Benoît Richaud, (2024 ISU Choreographer of the Year), Garret Smith (New York City Ballet and the Bolshoi Ballet choreographer), Rohene Ward (four-time PSA Choreographer of the Year), and Douglas Webster (IDI founder, producer, artistic director).
This four-week tour provides audiences across the country an immersive and up close experience to watch and learn from world class skaters. The cast engages with local communities through clinics and meet-and-greets with area skating clubs—fostering community, creativity, and confidence on the ice.
Tickets range from $20–$60. VIP tickets include a meet and greet with the cast. Edge classes are ticketed separately.
