As they skate out onto the ice, the crowd lets them hear their excitement.

The music starts and the two remain where they are for a moment, still staring at the ice.

The music has a Scottish sound to it, coming in soft with the fiddle and a bagpipe.

John raises his head and smiles at his sister, their routine is about to begin and they look ready.

Then the two of them start to spin in circles, moving around the ice, skating to the sounds of the bagpipe.

They meet again in the middle and do a sort of dance on ice.

It looks like moves you would see on a dance floor, with pirouettes and spins.

They finish their move and transition into skating all around the ice.

As they do this, they begin to pick up speed prepare for their most challenging move yet.

The pair rounds a turn and Sinead flips over John’s leg as he grabs onto her hands.

She ends up hanging from him, face down, as John throws his hands up into the air.

From there, they move into a sort of free dance, spinning and jumping to the beat of the song.

The music changes and the two begin to do a little Scottish jig right there on the ice.

It’s pretty impressive considering that most people wouldn’t even be able to do it on solid ground.
