2020 U.S. World Synchronized Skating Team Members

We would like to extend our congratulations to DFSC members Sarah Checkosky and Katey Nyquist. Sarah and Katey skated on Team USA for the Haydenettes Synchronized Skating Team in 2019-2020, competing internationally in Nottingham, England and Rouen, France. They became 2020 U.S. Champions, and were named to the 2020 U.S. World Team as Team USA 1. Unfortunately the 2020 World Synchronized Skating Championships in Lake Placid, NY were cancelled due to COVID-19. We are proud of Sarah and Katey for representing our club and Team USA well!

2019-2020 Ice Theater of the Rockies Team

Theater On Ice (TOI) is a form of competitive figure skating. It combines the grace of figure skating with the excitement of theater and dance. The programs are judged by regular U.S. Figure Skating judges and are evaluated on technical merit and presentation with emphasis on originality, costuming, artistry, and musicality.

DFSC Members include: Lily Bacon, Sophie Corbett, Caroline Daly, Gaby Garamova, Isabella Garamova, Nora Gililand, Faye Huang, Lexi Masur, Meghan O’Neal, Hannah Shleyfer

2020 National Solo Dance Series

As the sport of figure skating grows through the ages, new disciplines and others have off-shoots. While Ice Dancing is still a loved sport to watch by many, there are many ice dancers that love this discipline but have not found a partner to compete with. Thus, Solo Dance was created. Competition options include: Patterned Dance, Combined Dance including one pattern dance (Novice and below) or short dance (Jr/Sr) and a free dance, and Shadow Dance consisting of a pattern dance skated by two skaters without connecting/holding.

The Solo Dance Series run from February through mid August each year. Skaters must register to have points at various competitions they compete at to be tracked; skaters can compete in more than one NSD type. The top 6 competitors at each level within each Section for each type (Pattern, Shadow, Combined) are invited to the National competition.

This year, Sirinya Frankel represented the Denver Figure Skating Club at the 2019 National Solo Dance Series. We are so proud of your hard work Sirinya!

Denver Synchronicity

About Denver Synchronicity

Synchronized skating is the fastest growing discipline of the sport over the past ten years giving skaters the team environment they are looking for. Known as "synchro", it is fast, artistic, creative and the skaters give a strong presentation performance!

Denver FSC's synchro program is known as Denver Synchronicity. Our Denver Synchronicity skaters account for 28% of our DFSC club membership with around 120 members! Fielding teams from beginners to Masters, these teams have fun with their friends as they learn new programs each year! Led by Director of Synchronized Skating, Alicia Jordan, Denver Synchronicity has had another amazing year. This year they fielded 6 teams. 4 of those teams represented DFSC at the Pacific Coast Sectional Championships. The Intermediate, Adult, and Masters teams all advanced to the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships!

Denver Synchro Beginner Team

DS Beginner has a super fun season! Almost all of them were brand new to synchronized skating and they set out together to learn the different synchro elements and what it takes to be a team.

Denver Synchro Open-Juvenile Team

DS Open Juvenile had so much fun performing their “Best Friends” themed program this season. Their theme was not hard at all for this team to enjoy because they are already wonderful friends and it helped them to become even closer by the end of the season!

Denver Synchro Adult Team

This season's adult team showed what true teamwork, patience, dedication and friendship can achieve! This year at Nationals, the Adult team had their best skate and season's best! They came together as a diverse team that had to overcome injuries and improving scores from competition to competition.

Denver Synchro Preliminary Team

This season’s Preliminary Team skaters were all brand new to this level. They all came together to become special friends and teammates and learned so much!

Denver Synchro Intermediate Team

DS Intermediate had such a fun and entertaining season skating to *NSYNC. They placed 3rd at the Synchronized Fall Classic in California and worked super hard over the holdiays to finish 2nd at the Pacific Coast Sectional Championships. Their performance at Nationals was clean, sharp and full of energy!

Denver Synchro Masters Team

Skating to Destiny's Child, DS Masters brought attitude, confidence, and sass to every practice, send-off, and competition this season. In preparation for Nationals, they worked hard on their skating skills, speed, and expression. They skated their season best and strongest performance, finishing in 5th place!

Learn more about Collegiate skating programs

During our Club Ice at Home program during COVID-19 quarantine, we were lucky to have three of our DFSC Collegiate Skaters join us for a Zoom call about Collegiate Skating. Lauren Banko, Sofia Daley, and Natalie Johnson have 3 very different collegiate skating experiences, and were able to give our DFSC skaters a lot of great information and insight about skating in college! The below video is a recording of our call, and we would encourage all DFSC skaters who are thinking about skating in college to watch!
