Azumi
Williams skate with kids.
These professional skaters have lived on
the ice much of their lives. They skate at
this newest Southern California rink, provide lessons and help operate the
exciting, fun attraction in Redondo Beach
that opened in November 2008.
In the
video above, professional, award-winning ice
skaters Scott and Azumi Williams provided a
small ice show demonstration to the public
on a sunny Sunday afternoon just a week
after the ice skating attraction launched in
Redondo Beach. Skating effortlessly, the
couple made use of the 120-by-60-foot
ice surface while artfully dodging
youngsters and first time skaters. "Play
Video" to find out what's going on at this
new outdoor ice rink.
While
a range of skating skills are apparent in
the rink, there are some surprises for those
who come to enjoy the fun. Not only do world
class skaters such as Azumi offer classes to
help you get launched, you'll often find
some incredible talent on the ice. While
many don't associate Southern California
with ice skating, quite a few pro skaters
and Olympic athletes have come from this
region.
Scott
Williams seen in this video has been a
competitive skater and producer of ice
shows, television shows, film projects and
too many awards to mention in one brief
paragraph. Having coached Michelle Kwan to
her fifth world championship crown, Scott's
talents are endless. Scott's knowledge,
along with his wife's background in skating
and marketing, have helped launch the
Seaside Ice rink and garner national
publicity to this warm-weather locale.
While
the video above barely shows the obstacles
the couple faced in skating around toddlers
and adults experiencing their first
time on skates, what's evident is that their
ability to perform in all types of
situations. You may get a glimpse of them
skating from time to time at the rink. When
they are out on the ice, it is an incredible
treat!
