in order to dedicate her full time to the upbringing of her daughter
Sasha. In 1999 Nuria restared her activities and began teaching coreography
and technique at My Way ice rink in Buenos Aires. Since July 2000 she
has been coreographer of our ICE SKATE CAFÉ team and directs our schools

ICE
SKATE CAFE TEAM
The team was organized by our director who selected Argentine skaters
of the highest technical level. The team was very small at first and
gradually has increased. The young skaters, of both sexes, glide on
the frozen surface dancing to different musical rythms and are the joy
of many children and adults who watch their various acrobacies both
in the air and on ice. They have already made their first presentation
at the ABASTO DE BUENOS AIRES and many more are to come. Members of
the team are M. Eugenia Cerezo, M. Fernanda Cerezo, Naomi Rozansky,
Lorena Arnau, M. del Mar Acevedo Luque, Paula Sadovnik, Karina Sivori,
Miriam Schottlaender, Juan Carlos Torales and Leonardo Muñoz.
Leonardo Muñoz is at present working in an ice show in Portugal, Paradise
on Ice, which of course fills us with pride that in such a short time
our young skaters should be called by a company abroad. CONGRATULATIONS
LEO !!!!!!!!!!!!
