This Olympic athlete definitely has the “Luck of the Irish” on his side when he performs! 


From the moment the music began to play, the audience was awestruck. Jason began his routine by twirling around the ice to “Reel Around The Sun”, a hit from the famous Riverdance Show. The crowd wasn’t sure what would happen next but boy, were they in for a shock! 

Jason’s on-ice yoga twists and turns were amazing to watch. However, it wasn’t until he began an elaborate tap-glide movement with his feet that the audience grasped the fact he was channeling Michael Flatley, the original “Lord of the Dance”. Who would have thought an Irish tap dance could be the basis for ice skating? 

Jason had an amazing choreographer that helped him put together moves that no one had ever thought possible! 

Jason has proved that you really can get crazy on the ice! His version is just as perfect as the original. You won’t believe how amazing his ice skating is! Throughout the performance, you can see and hear the crowd go crazy with all of the moves Jason shows off. They recognize true talent when they see it!
