"It occurred to me that with all the talk about pivoting through the pandemic, that since skating has an actual move called a 'pivot,' it would be a great idea to do a socially distanced ensemble piece appropriate for these times," said Moira North, founder and artistic director of ITNY. "We were delighted to commission Joel Dear for the choreography of "Pivoting" and Jordan Cowan from On Ice Perspectives to film this unique piece."

Ice Theatre of New York also commissioned its first solo dance piece choreographed by Olympian Kaitlyn Weaver. This marks the first time Kaitlyn choreographs and performs a solo piece, which is a relatively new ice dance discipline.
