HSS Vocal Students Julia and Victor Polowy Excel At Figure Skating Competitions
Victor and Julia Polowy
Recently, two of my younger students, Julia Polowy and Victor Polowy, enjoyed great success at the Make It A Date To Skate Competition held in North Bay, Ontario. Now, I cannot take credit for that – my job is to teach them how to sing.
However, I love to encourage my singers to pursue some form of organized sport. In addition to conditioning their bodies to endure the hard work that comes with stellar vocal training, organized sports develops a sense of team spirit and fosters leadership skills.
Julia and Victor are 9-year-old twins, involved in numerous activities throughout the community. From singing to skating to gymnastics to hockey, these talented youngsters find the time and discipline to train their young bodies and minds in many ways.
Well, their hard work was rewarded. In the North Bay competition, Victor captured one gold and two silvers and Julia captured two bronzes.
Victor came first in the Introductory Men’s Free Skate and placed second in both the Introductory Men’s Spins and the Introductory Men’s Elements.
Julia earned her bronze medals by placing third to both the Junior Bronze Free Skate and in Introductory Interpretive.
They train and are members of the Timmins Porcupine Figure Skating Club.
Congratulations, Julia and Victor! Brava and Bravo!
