Themes and stories behind the programs

Short Program "Las Vegas"

It’s evening and the bright lights of Las Vegas light up the city. People are spending money at the casinos. Everybody is praying for lady luck to smile at them tonight. The bartender spills the drink when he sees a group of cool chicks walking in. They are ready to gamble and have fun. The roulette table catches their attention. Everybody is having a blast. There is yet another lucky winner, when somebody yells Jackpot!

This fast program is full of steps and makes you catch your breath. The girls really have fun skating this program. The idea for the dress comes from the sounds of the roulette table in the music. So when the girls turn and spin, the skirt looks like a roulette wheel. So we hope that lady luck is with us on the ice...

Free Program "Tinker Bell"

She is fun, she is feisty and she can fly, she can fly! Many things are possible with faith, trust …and a little pixie dust! When a sunbeam touches a flower, the petals open up and inside we find Tinker Bell waking up. Tink and her friends spread their wings and fly away to enjoy the beautiful day. Bright and sprightly, yet a little devilish and prankish, Tink has yet another day full of adventures to experience in the Never Never Land.

Although ten of our juniors from last year quit, this team is much stronger than before. The girls have a lot of fun together and they work really hard with great attitude. You can see they really love skating. It is a long dream come true that they finally get to skate to a beautiful and soft free program. This is a long way from the ‘Gladiators’ program they did two years ago.

Liisa Hellemaa simmered the ingredients in her kitchen to give these dresses their amazingly beautiful colours. The biggest problem at the beginning was what colour should Tinker Bell’s costume be, blue, green or yellow…? So we ended up using light green and yellow together. This dress is very different from all the other junior costumes we’ve seen this season. Almost all the other programs are fast and have a strong beat, so the costumes are also bright with strong colours. This program and the costume stand out from the crowd. At times it almost looks as if the girls are flying above the ice.
