Ashton Butterworth, Amy Butler, Miranda Wijaya, Milena Wijaya and Sophia Butterworth (pictured) are all coached by Grace Caley at Ice World Acacia Ridge. Grace has skated in the famous pre-show at Boondall before Disney on Ice, the warm up show that starred young Brisbane skaters, and is now a leading coach.

This action-packed extravaganza, produced by Feld Entertainment, Inc., features Disney's Moana, Frozen, Coco and Beauty and the Beast with other beloved Disney characters. Families and fans will go on a high-sea adventure as Moana sets sail on a life-changing quest to save her island, with help from the demigod Maui.

Along with her new friends in the enchanted castle, Belle is encouraged to step outside the ordinary and find joy in the bleakest situation.
