Leah Smith

What do you enjoy about performing?

I love putting on a show for the audience and generating a reaction from the spectators. It’s so fun to get all dressed up in costume, put on show makeup and rock the routines we have worked so hard to perfect! That clean program feeling is euphoric!

How would you describe your performance style?

I would say I have a very intense and contemporary performance style. Disney On Ice has offered me a new opportunity to practice a different style of performance which is more upbeat and vibrant.

What do you want the audience to get from your performance?

I want the audience to enjoy watching my performance! I hope it brings smiles to their faces and inspires them to get into a mode of performance or self-expression!

 Olivia Oltmanns:

What do you enjoy about performing?

The crowd really drives me. No matter how I am feeling on a certain day in a certain show, they push me to be my best and always bring a true smile to my face.

How would you describe your performance style?

I would like to say I am powerful, strong, and energetic.

What do you want the audience to get from your performance?

Besides entertainment, I hope the audience shares my pure enjoyment for what I am doing. I hope my happiness radiates on to them! :)

Sydney Berrier:

What do you enjoy about performing?

I enjoy the smiles I bring to other people’s faces when I skate and the satisfaction of reaching people when I skate.

How would you describe your performance style?

I can be both a strong and steady performer and a graceful and elegant one.

What do you want the audience to get from your performance?

I want the audience to leave feeling happy and pumped.

Thank you Leah, Olivia, and Sydney!
