This year, Ice & Blades Figure Skating club president, Joyce, wanted her skaters "to feel and train like athletes, so they need to look like athletes." She went on to say that she wants to have a more unified team exuding TONS of team pride. Her solution? Warm-ups to give the Ice & Blades a unified look. Keeping her intent in mind, The Line Up designers were up for the challenge of designing warm ups for the skaters!

Synchronized skating teams tie their theme together with music, choreography, and, of course, costuming! The themes the Chicago Radiance coaches decided on for their teams for this year were delightful and strong, and were well reflected in their custom skating dress designs. Check them out below!

The 2015 Midwest & Pacific Coast Synchro Skate Championships Were a Success!
The 2015 Midwest & Pacific Coast Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships were right in our back door this year: at Breamar Ice Arena in Eden Prairie, MN. It's not often that we get to see all the gorgeous dresses we produce in action on the ice, especially so close to home, so the events this week were extra special.
