Defying Gravity, Ashley Prentice skates at Figure Skating in Harlem's 27th annual ice show.

College bound skater Ashley Prentice performs her senior solo at Figure Skating in Harlem’s 2024 ice show. She has been a part of the organization since she was 6 years old.

I LOVE that she’s wearing glasses!

[@sporty.seb1]

I think she is the first skater I have ever seen wearing glasses.

How wonderful to read that these folks were the first to let you film live on ice, Jordan! You know how much of a fan of your work I am, and I’ve always loved seeing the young skaters you’ve shown in these annual shows. Such great piece she chose to skate to, and a wonderful celebration of the “Oz fandom”!
I do wonder as I listen to these how you are dealing with the music copyright issues? So many creators are struggling with having pieces taken down due to copyright strikes. Do you have to purchase rights to every big song people skate to now?
Thanks for everything you do!
