Philippe, a former French Canadian figure skater, has been skating for more than 35 years. He competed in both singles and ice dance. His testing credentials include Gold Free Skate, Gold Field Moves and International Pattern Dance (all through Skate Canada).
He has been a part-time dance partner for 25 years for skaters of all ages and all levels. After getting his MBA in arts management in Quebec, Philippe joined the ice show as a professional skater. He toured with Holiday On Ice for 8 years, and also with Robin Cousins’ ICE for its inaugural UK tour.
