With Disney On Ice<\/em> back on tour in Canada, Panoram Italia<\/em> spoke with feature skater Tricia DeFelice, who gave us a behind-the-scenes look at an athlete’s life traveling the world with Disney.<\/p>


Panoram Italia:<\/em><\/strong> You are from Ocean City, New Jersey, but you are also Italian-American. Can you tell us more about your family origins? <\/p>

Tricia DeFelice:<\/strong> My dad is 100% Italian. He is notorious for having black coffee after dinner every night and he\u2019s a very good cook. <\/p>


PI:<\/strong> You are playing a Disney character in one of its most important touring shows. Have you been cultivating your talent from a very young age?<\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> I grew up skating. My mom got me into the sport as she used to skate as well. I grew up learning through her and competing, which continued throughout college, up until this point of my career.<\/p>


PI:<\/strong> What should we expect from this show? <\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> Disney On Ice: Mickey’s Search Party <\/em>showcases a wide variety of Disney movies. It\u2019s super exciting for all ages. The little kids sing along and see all the characters. We have some of the classics like Aladdin<\/em> and Jasmine<\/em>\u2014a little bit everything that the audience loves.<\/p>

PI:<\/strong> The show brings together several old and new characters: Mickey Mouse, Captain Hook, Elsa, Miguel<\/em> from Coco<\/em> and many more. What is your favourite song or moment of the show?\u00a0<\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> I love the Toy Story<\/em> segment because it\u2019s very interactive with the fans.<\/p>

PI:<\/strong> The show is touring the United States, Canada and even makes its way to Europe. Have you ever been there? <\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> I actually had a chance to tour Europe pre-pandemic and it was amazing. It\u2019s so nice to be able to tour the world with the company.<\/p>

PI:<\/strong> It\u2019s not always easy traveling from city to city and being away from home for a long time. How has this experience been for you? <\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> I really enjoy traveling because you get to visit different cities and countries. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to see all these cool places by the age of 27. It definitely gets tiring sometimes, visiting a new city every week, but as long we stay organized, it\u2019s great. My favourite thing to do is check out coffee shops\u2014I love coffee.<\/p>


PI: <\/strong>After seeing the show, many children may be inspired to start skating. Do you have any advice for those who want to be a figure skater? <\/p>

TDF:<\/strong> Follow your dreams; that\u2019s what we all did growing up. Even though we didn\u2019t turn into big athletes like the ones skating in the Beijing Olympics, we found a really cool lifestyle with Disney On Ice. Figure skating takes a lot of work but is super fulfilling in the end, so they should definitely go for it.<\/p>
