Wenatchee, Washington (7/29/19) - National Showcase 2019, hosted by the Wenatchee Figure
Skating Club, will be held July 31 to Aug. 4 in Wenatchee, Washington.
Competitors will vie for titles in dramatic entertainment, light
entertainment, extemporaneous improvisation, duets, mini production and
production ensembles.
National Showcase fuses artistic creativity with figure skating,
providing a unique combination of artistry and athleticism. The
competition is considered a festival of inspiration, and all skaters who
qualify are encouraged to participate. Participants include singles
skaters, duets, small ensembles of three to seven skaters and large
production numbers of eight to 30. Practice sessions will be held Wed.,
July 31, with competition beginning Thursday morning at the Town Toyota
Center.
Competitors qualify for the event by placing in the top four at any
showcase/theatrical/interpretive event at sanctioned, nonqualifying
competitions in the United States held from the close of entries at
National Showcase 2018 to the close of entries for this event. Skaters
also earn a spot to compete by placing in the top four at National
Showcase the previous year.
This year's competition includes 343 individual skaters and 100
duets/teams from across the country competing in 728 starts during this
event.
Events exceeding 15 entrants will include a final round to determine a
champion in that category. The highest placed skaters from each
preliminary group will participate in the final round of competition.
Winners in each event compete in the Parade of Champions, where an
overall champion is named in five disciplines (Parade of Champions,
Junior Parade Champions, Parade of Duet Champions, Parade of
Interpretive Champions and Parade of Adult Champions).
