Before the 2014 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships, U.S. figure skating champion Jason Brown, along with his coach and choreographer, began thinking about a new performance program. When his team suggested performing Riverdance’s “Reel Around The Sun” for free, Jason thought they had lost their minds.
However, this decision turned out to be a stroke of genius. The audience was mesmerized by the performance and reacted with excitement and amazement to every element! All eyes were on Jason and his skating. Since Riverdance is a dance show, one can imagine the challenge of performing it on ice.
Jason performed his program perfectly and even before he finished, the audience began to applaud the talented skater.
See how Jason reacted to the audience’s response in the video below. Over 20 million people have already enjoyed his incredible performance and once you watch it you will understand why.
