The show is based on the fairy tales of Hans Christian Anderson, and features magnificent skating and choreography. At one point in the show, the lights are darkened, and two people walk to a lighted box. Those two people are Aleksandra Vodnytska and Sergii Scherbinin.
Given the number of "oohs" and "aahs" we heard (including ours), the audience was enthralled.

As you might expect, creating those magical minutes onstage requires hundreds of hours of practice. "It starts with pencil sketches," said Aleksandra, "and from there step-by-step with the sand and the music." They told us there are probably less than a dozen people in the world who perform "sand art" professionally.
You can learn about them at their website, www.vodnytska.com, and at their blog, where you can view the "Ole Lukejo" performance via a YouTube video.
Bravo Aleksandra and Sergii! Cruising Squared is giving you a standing ovation.

Until you have the opportunity to see them live, I highly recommend visiting their site. Their performance was truly stunning.
