The skaters will range from beginners to high schoolers showcasing their latest routines, Carlson said. This is not a competition, but rather an end-of-year ice show.

“It’s inspired by all the amazing things Barbie and Ken can be – from dreamers and leaders to athletes, artists and everything in between,” she said. “As our skaters tour the Dreamhouse, they will celebrate imagination, confidence and the idea that you can be anything when you believe in yourself.”

Skaters will take to the ice “in a colorful, high-energy production inspired by imagination, teamwork and the fun of skating, showcasing skills from beginner to advanced levels of skating,” Carlson said.

The show will include 37 routines, performed individually and in groups.
