    Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean

    Jun 21, 2022 6 minutes

    Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) returned to indoor performances with fervor and force following a two and a half year hiatus, by honoring legendary ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at its 35th anniversary Benefit Gala at New York’s Chelsea Piers on May 9.

    The annual gala celebrates the lives and careers of notable members of the skating community.

    “It is a great honor for us to recognize those who are accomplished within our ice dance world and have stayed connected to the field beyond their own performances,” said Moira North, ITNY founder and artistic director. “Those who have given back to our ‘icy’ world and have been a role model for others to follow.

    “ITNY is delighted to honor Jayne and Chris as its first ice dance honorees in a long list of great ice artists.”

    Torvill and Dean’s golden dance at the 1984 Olympic Winter Games in Sarajevo remains one of the most iconic in the history of figure skating.
