Professional training off ice

January 2010: Special master class adagio with Laurence Fanon. http://www.fanonl.net/
March 2009: Training with Ian Jenkins.

Here is how we started as a Professional Adagio Pair Team.

We met during a show in Les Arcs 2000 (France) in February 2009, directed by Yves Pierre Danton (performer in Holiday on Ice, Le Lido, ...). For this show, Maxime was Principal Pair and Solenne was Principal Soloist.

Solenne learned the basis of the Adagio Pair Skating (Detroiter, Platzer, Neck Spin, One Ankle, Foot Lift, Sit Lift, Gainer, ...) in January 2009 with Ian Jenkins (professional world champion, performer in Europa Park, Le Lido, ...).

We both wanted to make a career in ice shows therefore we decided to do a test together which was successfull.

We both obtained a contract in Europa Park and decided to practice together to be able to perform in the show as Understudy Adagio Pair Team. And we did it. The show director was Francis Demarteau (performer in Holiday on Ice, Le Lido, ... and famous choreographer). We did our number for the first time in the show in July and it was a success. Since then we keep practicing and improving our level to enlarge our repertoire.

We are passionately fond of our work and wish to perform as long as we can in shows. We are hard workers, motivated and love challenges. We are open to all proposals, whenever it is and wherever, so don’t hesitate to contact us.
