About me

ELENA
|
Although figure skating is not a common sport in my country, I fell in love with it the minute I step on the ice. It all started as a hobby, but in 2015 I decided to make my dreams come true and become a professional ice show skater! And I combined my skating abilities with some circus performances, such as aerial hoop and fire swing juggling, in order to offer different show acts on ice. I love performing and traveling the world, I'm also very creative and always work hard to give my best =)
FIGURE SKATINGI used to take roller skating classes when I was a teenager, because there were no ice rinks in my town. When I moved to Buenos Aires in 2007, I started figure skating and fell in love with it instantly. During the following ten years I trained with the best coaches in Argentina, such as FAPH coaches Richard Hastings and Mariela Perez and UFSA coach Cristina Lin. I have also taken special stretching classes with Fernando Fegan and ballet at Gurquel Ballet School, both activities that contributed a lot to my training.

FLYING ACTIn 2015 I've started taking aerial hoop classes and discovered a whole new fantastic world! After three years of hard training and off ice performances, I was able to perform my aerial hoop on ice act at the Figure Skating Gala #ArgentinaPatinaSobreHielo 2018 and I can't wait to repeat the experience!

FIRE JUGGLINGWhen I was touring with 'Aquatic Circus On Ice' in 2015, I started practising some fire juggling. I enjoy this activity a lot and I always bring my torches with me to keep on improving. I love performing fire juggling on ice, it looks pretty awesome!

SKILLS
ADAPTATION
I have performed in several different ice rinks, from Olympic size to very small ones (even 8×6mts!). Since in Latin America ice rinks are not very common and there are no Zambonis, usually the ice quality is far from ideal. It was not always easy, but I thank that I was able to make the most of it and develop helpful adaptation skills! MULTIPLE ROLES As a skater, I enjoy different disciplines: chorus skating, pairs/adagio, solo and special acts. Fire juggling and aerial hoop are the circus skills I perform on ice, and I am always open to learning new ones! EXPRESSION Since I was a little girl I have always enjoyed acting and performing. I like pretending I am someone else on the ice and reflecting each character properly. COSTUME-FRIENDLY I have worn lots of different types of costumes and loved them all! I have no problem adapting to any special clothes for the show and also my measurements are mostly average. TRAVEL ENTHUSIAST If there is something I enjoy as much as skating, it is traveling! Getting to know new places and people is one of the richest parts of this job. I love the nomadic life style! PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE With more than six years of experience in events management by working for the Argentinian Figure Skating Federation, I have gained some knowledge about ice events production. This is actually the career I want to develop in the future, so I try to learn everything I can while working as an artist! |
