Holiday on Ice returns to the Brighton Centre once again in January with their new show BELIEVE, directed and choreographed by skating legend, Christopher Dean.

In the 1980’s Christopher choreographed iconic ice dance routines including Mack & Mabel and Barnum which catapulted him and his ice dance partner Jayne Torvill to international fame, winning them an olympic gold and four consecutive world championship ice dance medals between 1981 and 84 in the process.

Their final performance of Bolero at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics Ice Dance competition in 1984 received a perfect set of 6’s from the judges and drew to BBC one of the largest UK television audiences for a sports event ever, elevating the partnership to international iconic status as atheletes and artists while reinforcing the UK’s ice skating pedigree created by John Curry and Robin Cousins before them.

Over seven decades, Holiday on Ice has become the most famous brand of entertainment on ice attracting a record number of 328 hundred million visitors to ice rinks and stadiums all over the world to experience fabulous international skating entertainment provided by some of the best ice skaters in the world.

BELIEVE will open at The Brighton Centre on Wednesday, January 4 and runs until Sunday January 8, 2017.

The show is an incredibly exciting and fast paced production telling the modern-day story of the traditional Shakespeare classic, Romeo and Juliet about desire, jealously and true love.

With Olympic level choreography combined with the best live music, beautiful décor, glamorous costumes and hi-tech special effects, BELIEVE is destined to become a show that will truly conquer your heart.

BELIEVE is the first show that Christopher Dean and Holiday On Ice’s producers Stage Entertainment have worked on together creating a new milestone in the great tradition of collaborations between Holiday on Ice and Olympic skating champions.

As director and choreographer Christopher, using his expertise of the icy stage, will be responsible for translating the show’s substantive themes into the most beautiful choreography.

A creative team of highly acclaimed award-winning professionals including Stephen Emmer (Music Director), Nicolas Vaudelet (Costume Designer) and Bart Doerfler (Artistic Director Holiday on Ice) have been assembled to help him deliver this unique production.

Commenting on the new partnership Christopher said: “I’ve been on the ice for forty-seven years, performing in shows, training and choreographing others, but now I look forward to creating a new Holiday on Ice show with the best skaters in the world.”
