At a time when most live entertainment has been canceled due to the pandemic, a nonprofit professional ice dancing company is providing free, safe, outdoor entertainment for the public this winter. Ice Dance International (IDI) has brought together a group of world class skaters who have arrived in Portsmouth to begin a month long program that will involve NH schools and outdoor pop-up performances at Labrie Family Skate at Puddle Dock Pond, located in the heart of Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
