Ross Luxton, a "Creativeskater", for September/October 2008
By: Elizabeth Hollett Shackett
Ross’s passion for performing drives each of our lessons. Electrifying the audience is his main goal. His determination and perseverance are also reflected in his skating. I enjoy the fact that the zamboni always seems to interrupt us long before we’d like to wrap up our lesson time!

Ross has been the Adult National Champion and ISU Adult International medallist using programs that I have choreographed. I have done both Free skating and Interpretive programs that are all theme-based for him. We have done from Piano Ballet, P.T. Barnum, to a jazzy version of James Bond’s From Russia With Love.

All choreography has been a collaborative effort between us.  He often brings his own vision to the ice.  I follow his lead and hone his creative ideas with my own. I highlight his strengths and encourage him to try new things. It is fun how our two visions become one!

"My Coach" A Skater's Perspective
By: Ross Luxton
After skating at Ice Works for the past 4 Years I have had the pleasure of taking lessons from some
of the greatest coaches and skaters in the world, and have learned a lot, but none so much as I have
from Elizabeth.

I was already a show skater from my years with the big ice shows, but it was Elizabeth who was
able to bring out that creative talent and put it to some wonderful creative performances that
where far more than just spinning and jumping . Aside from her ability as a great technician,
Elizabeth finds ways to take my talents and make them creative.

Her Choreography tells a story on the ice to entertain judges and Audiences alike. It has been the
creative mind of Elizabeth Hollett that has won me great praise as well as many National and
International Adult competitions. 

"Its always a performance with Elizabeth and never just another routine". Ross Luxton
