Roselle Soussana
“ Beauty on Ice”

Roselle Soussana began skating at the age of three. She trained out of the Brossard Figure Skating Club in Brossard, Quebec. Roselle decided to skate competitively, competing within Quebec, including at the Quebec provincial championships, winning several medals and awards. She was part of Quebec's Elite Novice team in 1990-91.

Roselle then moved to England. This is where she developed the artistic side to her skating, which now defines Roselle as an extraordinary "artist on ice". She trained under choreographer Lorna Brown. After winning the Scottish Junior Championships and the British Junior Championship silver medal, Roselle decided to return home to Canada.

Roselle trained in Chatham, until moving to Barrie to join the Mariposa Skating Club. After a serious injury, Roselle decided to turn professional.

As a professional, Roselle got a chance to showcase her special talents in a film entitled "Sometimes a Hero" written by Glen Gregory Doyle, Elvis Stojko's martial arts instructor. It gave Roselle the opportunity to act, as well as skate. She choreographed her own skating numbers for the film..

Roselle has performed in numerous shows in both Europe and North America. She brings incredible hydroblading, beautiful spirals and spins, and a passion for the ice to her performances. Most recently, Roselle was in "BLUE ICE" Le Cabaret D'hiver, a one month show as principal skater with "Cirque Du Miroir" (JP Martin) held inside the "Casino du Lac Leamy" Theatre in Quebec.

Roselle continues to skate professionally, and has also embarked on a coaching career.
