The Warwick Figure Skaters staged their annual show, Dance Party, Saturday at Thayer Arena. The arena was colorfully decorated and the stands were filled with admiring family and friends as well as aspiring skaters. The applause and cheers were frequent and long, especially for those “seniors” who are leaving the group and those just entering the program – the youngest to participate in the performance was 4 years old. Of the 250-member Figure Skaters, 136 performed Saturday.
