But having a look to the below exhibition program reminds me that galas & shows are once and for all worthy.
It was in Paris Bercy, probably in 2008, for the French "Stars sur Glace" tour.
Skating on two themes of Sweet Dreams (a jazzy version and Marilyn Manson reprise), this program mixes technicality, grace & velocity.

Carron & Jost were the 2006 and 2007 French national bronze medalists and the 2008 and 2009 French national silver medalists. They also won a bronze medal at the 2007 Skate Canada International, finished as high as 6th at the European Championships, and were ninth in their only appearance at the World Championships. Their partnership ended in April 2009. What a loss for ice dancing!…

The icerink is located within Zhèng Dà Guǎng Chǎng Supermall (正大广场) at the 8th floor!
This building is just beside the Pear Tower (there was a lot of wind and big cloud when I took these pictures, impressive… even after more than one year and half at Shanghai! By the way, as you can see they’ve put an ugly roundabout for the International Summit, like at Shanghai Science and Museum Technology…).

Entering inside the supermall, it’s like a big boat: "only" 8 floors, but the building is absolutely outsized!
Marble everywhere, stairs a la Versailles and escalators intercrossing… I don’t know how many restaurants and stores are hosted inside… We don’t have such a luxury in France! (below it’s just a small part)

Arrived at the 8th floor, we discover the icerink (正大广场室内真冰滑冰场), and it appears to be the same size as Baoshan one’s: 40*20meters…

…but… in order to respect a shanghainese tradition, they’ve put a pillar on the icerink!

The quality of the ice is not so bad (but they only remake the ice 1 or 2 time per day…) and, as usual, the staff is really nice.

All the pictures are on the “Pictures” section (see right menu) (there is also a slideshow available)! If you want these pictures in high resolution, you can either download it on my FTP server (see right menu) or use the Add Album To Cart function inside the Pictures section (see below the pictures).
 
 
Herefater are the fees and time schedule:

These prices are for 2 hours of skating (I know, it’s really expensive!!! ).
