Episode Olympian Tessa Virtue steps off the ice and onto the stage
Before the gold medals, three-time Olympic champion ice dancer Tessa Virtue was just a nine-year-old girl trying to decide between ballet and skating. Now, years after retiring from competition, she’s stepping off the ice and onto the stage, performing without skates for the first time in her professional career. This month, at the Fall for Dance North Festival in Toronto, the Olympian will perform a brand new solo choreographed by Alyssa Martin. Tessa joins Tom Power to tell us what it means to return to dance on entirely different terms, what she’s discovered about life after the Olympics, and where she’s headed next.
