Skating for gold!
Frontrunner Roger Butt and his ice dance partner Nancy Jean made two trips to the podium at the Michel Proulx Memorial Figure Skating Competition held in mid-March in the Beauce, outside of Quebec City. Roger and Nancy won gold medals in both the Adult Gold Dance and the Free Dance categories. The event was the debut competition for the duo who have been skating together for over a year. They edged out their competitors in both compulsory dances, the Paso Doble and the Viennese Waltz. The free dance was choreographed to the well-known Bobby Darrin swing number, Mack the Knife. Roger and Nancy go on to skate at the Adult National Figure Skating Championships to be held at Carleton University, Ottawa April 7-10. From there it is on to the Outgames where they will compete in the gold compulsory dance and free dance events at the Maurice Richard Arena. Congratulations Roger and Nancy.
