  Speaker 1: Hey, Sophie, how old were you when you first stepped

  Speaker 1: onto the ice? And when did you realize that this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: actually could become your career?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was seven years old when I stepped onto
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that ice. And apparently I was just going around that
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: rink in circles and circles. So my mom, she signed
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: me up for lessons. And I have auditioned with Disney
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: on Ice nine years ago. And I have been with
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: them ever since.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know, you've been performing with Disney on Ice for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: over eight years. Do you remember the moment you found
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: out you were going to be part of Disney on Ice?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my, yes. It was like a dream come true.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I did a live audition. And I was just waiting
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and waiting for that email that I could be joining.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And there it was. And I never looked back.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So I got to ask you, is there a Disney
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: song that you absolutely love performing to or that one
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that gets stuck in your head, even though you're not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: on the ice?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, Disney has on this show, Disney on
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Ice presents Magic in the Stars. We have so many
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: stories to cover and all of your favorite songs as well.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So we have How Far I'll Go from Moana. We

  Speaker 2: have Into the Unknown and Frozen 2. And also Encanto,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: which is with the song We Don't Talk About Bruno,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: which is a crowd favorite.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So, you know, you got a pretty unique job because
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you're constantly traveling. But when you're not performing, what does
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a normal day look like for you?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: As a cast member, you become really close with your
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: castmates and the fellow skaters. And, you know, we get
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: together by just doing what we love and skating and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: being able to perform and bring the Disney magic to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: tons of families all over the world. So those times off,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we all just like to hang out with each other
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and just enjoy our downtime, explore the city that we're
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: performing in, and just do it again the next week. Yeah.
