*We have an exclusive clip from this week’s new episode of “Breaking The Ice” airing on WEtv.
The new reality series centers on world-renowned figure skater Rory Flack, the first African American woman to win the US Open Professional Figure Skating Championships.
Per the news release: “The figure skater-turned-coach is now spearheading Team DMV, the first all-diverse, competitive synchronized skating team striving to make it to the Ice Sports Industry’s (ISI) national championship. The team is comprised of 10 middle and high school girls who are up for this challenge. Together, they endure rigorous training on and off the ice, and must manage team dynamics, as well as outspoken parents and skating rivals. On their way to Nationals, Team DMV is defying the odds: will they navigate the inherent danger of the ice and avoid injury? Or push through the obstacles…ultimately, Breaking The Ice!”
Speaking to People, Flack said her all-girl skating team immediately clicked when they met for the first time.
“The quickest bonding was the color of their skin,” said Flack. “When they all got there, they were so excited to meet these other girls that they didn’t even know. Some were from Maryland, some were from Virginia, some were from D.C.”
She added, “The first month of practice was off-ice, but they really had to bond, and you can’t bond when you’re worrying about your skill. Because of that, there was no competition [among them] on a skill level when we started.”
In Thursday’s new episode, Coach Rory pushes Team DMV to their limits after their first competition. The parents question the team’s ice time and take matters into their own hands. Tensions flare between parents and coaches. Nia’s position as Team Captain is threatened.
In our exclusive preview of the episode, the coaches and parents discuss the cost of the season and the idea of holding a fundraiser. Watch the moment via the YouTube clip above.
Tune in to “Breaking The Ice” Thursdays at 9pm ET/8pm CT on WEtv.
