🇨🇦 From Canada to the world's most spectacular stages at sea, meet Emmanuelle "Emma" Balmori. Today we celebrate an almost unbelievable 25 YEARS with W***y Bietak Productions! 🎉🏆✨
Twenty-five years. Let that sink in. 💙
Emma's story with this family began not on a ship, but on the ice of Les Galeries de la Capitale in Québec City in 1994, performing in "Festival on Ice", her very first show with W***y. What followed over the next three decades is the stuff of ice entertainment legend.
🛳️ December 17th, 2000 | Emma set sail aboard Voyager of the Seas, launching one of the most remarkable careers in WBP history
🌊 Two new ship take-outs, 21 years apart | Adventure of the Seas in 2001 & Wonder of the Seas in 2022, a feat that speaks for itself
👑 Always in the "Ice Act" position | The most elite, specialist role on the ice, season after season!
🎪 The inventor of the "blade hang" trick | A one-of-a-kind move performed on a specially designed lyra aerial hoop that Emma herself created. Yes — she literally invented it. 🤯
💫 And if you think you've seen everything Emma can do…she has performed hair suspension on ice, a breathtaking act unlike anything else in the world of ice entertainment!
Emma, you are not just a skater, you are a pioneer, an innovator, and an irreplaceable piece of the soul of W***y Bietak Productions. From 1994 to today, you have redefined what is possible on ice, inspired every performer around you, and given audiences around the world moments they will never forget.
25 years. One extraordinary woman. A legacy written in blades. ⛸️✨
We love you, Emma. Here's to you and everything still to come! 🥂🎂
