ALTOONA, Pa. —
"You have to really. really train hard, and you learn a lot of life lessons too through competing," said 15-year-old Danielle Micaud. She has been figure skating for seven years.
"It's something different, something that not a lot of people can do. It takes a lot of talent," said Micaud.
Micaud and 50 other skaters will be putting their talent to the test Thursday at Galactic Ice, as they showing off their top-notch skills with a whole lot of fun.
"We have group numbers. They're not all solos out there. And the skaters range in age from about 5 to 73," said skating director John Kauffman.
From the Manger Carol to the Christmas Congo, the skaters of the Lakemont Figure Skating Club have teamed up with some "Ho-Ho Hockey" players, who are bringing their game -- the reindeer versus the penguins and Santa Claus is the referee.
"We get a lot of positive feedback, and it gets a lot of people interested in skating who maybe wouldn't have bothered to get out there and skate before," said Kauffman.
The show kicks off at 7 p.m. Thursday. They will repeat the holiday performance at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
