HI, LEAH. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW OLD YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE FROM?
I am 28 and I am from Reading, south England.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SKATING FOR?
I started skating at the age of four.
WERE YOU A NATURAL WHEN YOU STARTED?
As a child, I was always wanting to try something new and I enjoyed skating.
WHAT DID YOU ENJOY ABOUT IT?
I loved learning new steps and skills within skating. Achieving them encouraged me to keep going and learn more. I kept wanting to be better and become a stronger skater.
WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO MAKE IT YOUR CAREER?
After watching my first ice show. I was watching the show and thinking: I want to do that.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH DISNEY ON ICE?
Four years now. It goes by so quickly.
WHAT CHARACTER DO YOU PLAY?
I am an ensemble skater, so I get to be part of all the big production numbers and play lots of different roles. My favourite is the Salsa Fish in the Under the Sea number in the Little Mermaid section.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE PART OF A SHOW LIKE THIS?
I love performing for all the different audiences in all the different countries. They all react differently to different parts of the show; it’s interesting.
WERE YOU A FAN OF DISNEY GROWING UP?
Yes I was. Who isn’t?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DISNEY CHARACTER?
My favourite character is Ariel from The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid section in the show is so fun to skate in. The music is upbeat and the audience gets involved.
WHAT IS YOUR COSTUME LIKE?
My costume is very colourful and has lots of sparkles on it. See if you can pick me out when you watch the show. The whole show is very colourful.
ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SCOTTISH DATE?
Glasgow is our first city on our European tour this year, so we are all very excited to start performing for audiences. This is my second time in Scotland and I am very excited, of course, to perform all over the UK.
Disney on Ice Worlds of Enchantment will be at the Braehead Arena, Glasgow, September 25 until October 4.
