Celtic Woman Headlines Skate for the Heart Show

Celtic Woman headlines Skate For the Heart Show –

Watch it on NBC, 13th January 2008

Celtic Woman headlined the Mrs Dash Skate for the Heart Show in Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino, Conneticut in a live show recorded last Saturday, 27th October for NBC Television.

The show showcased the spectacular talents of Olympic gold & silver medalists and World dance champion ice skaters, including US Champion Todd Eldredge, Olympic silver medalist Brian Orser, US Champion Rudy Galindo, six time Canadian champion Jennifer Robinson and many more.

Every single skater who performed on the night had a very personal connection to the cause, which was to raise Heart Disease awareness throughout the USA.

We all have a direct or indirect connection with Heart Disease and as Chloe quoted in an interview for NBC Television “I am performing here tonight because I want to represent all of the youth, that at 18 this disease does not just affect the elderly or those who have lifestyle related onset. It can happen to anyone at anytime and it is important to be heart aware so that we can start at a young age leading a healthy and happy life”

Celtic Woman were fortunate to have the opportunity earlier this year to have performed on the Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular. At this time they were overwhelmed at the amazing chemistry and unique magic that was created when the Celtic Woman music and the beauty, grace and energy of the skating combined.

Therefore when they were asked to star in Mrs. Dash’s Skate for the Heart show, they jumped at the chance to create this magic all over. Talking with Lisa on the night, she told us, “It was an honour to be asked to perform in Skate for the Heart. Heart disease affects so many people worldwide and we really should all be so much more heart aware. Everyone performing on the night came together to support this very worthy cause.”

If you were not one of the lucky people to have been in Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Connecticut on the night of 27th October, 2007 for the taping for NBC, do not worry.. This amazing and unmissable show will be airing on January 13th 2008 on NBC between 4pm – 6pm EST. Put that date and time in your diaries because you do not want to miss out on sharing with us this magical show that is so close to our heart.
