Holiday on Ice 65th Anniversary biggest pin wheel


I was fortunate enough to be asked to join in the biggest pinwheel ever this weekend. It was put together for Holiday on Ice’s 65th anniversary and we had 65 skaters join onto a pinwheel for Guiness book or world records to create the biggest pinwheel ever!! So, all of the Energia cast was needed and members from the other shows to accomplish this. Thursday after Energia rehearsals we jumped on a bus for Mainz, Germany to rehearse and then do it live for German television on Sunday afternoon. A five hour bus ride and we finally arrived around one in the morning. On Friday we left for an arena that I later learned we will be going back to in December to perform our show! It was a pretty huge arena and I’m soooo looking forward to performing. Once there I got to meet Robin Cousins who is a wonderful choreographer and has been with Holiday forever. I was so thrilled that I got the chance to work with him. It was a long day but fun never the less and I partook in my very first pinwheel!!

The next day we went to a different place where the actual event would take place. It was outdoors and made specifically for our wheel. It was much wider than a normal rink so it was alot like a square. It was wonderful to be skating outside eventhough it was cold and raining off and on... Our outfits I must say were rediculous. We had grey longsleeved leotards and pinkish lavender ballet skirts, we looked like hippos I'm not even joking. Saturday late afternoon we did a prerecording of the number and we managed to do everything! Guiness book of world records was there and they counted that wheel as the biggest pin wheel ever with 65 people rotating together. So Sunday the pressure felt a little less since we had already captured the record but it was still going to be taped live. Thankfully we did it and 3.5 million people were watching from all over Germany. I was sooo excited to be a part of that and it was a wonderful experience! It was a once and a life time deal and I was in it!!

Congrats on the pinwheel #46
Yeah Caroline! I saw you several times in the video. Looks like you are having fun!!! I am wondering how large the cast of Energia is after seeing 65 skaters on the ice at once (I am sure they are not all cast from your show)? Keep sending the photos!!!

WOW!!! Look at you. I am so very thrilled and happy for and admittedly a bit jealous with the lifetime opportunity you have. What a dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish Grandma Miller could see you now ... perhaps she does. I hope that you will continue to share so that I may live vicariously through you. Back in MN we are doing really well. Callie LOVES her pink blanket and is now 15 months old. As of last week she is officially walking. Colin and I are ready, well not really, but are trying for a second child. I am not getting any younger, sadly. My dear, live out this opportunity and dream and take us with you as you go as I am so happy for you. Please keep in touch and travel safe. LOL Jen, Colin and Callie
