Three synchronized skating lines compete for the club: the Shadows in Open Juvenile, Shimmers in Pre-Juvenile and Sprites in Beginner 2.
The Shadows, Shimmers and Sprites along with hundreds of other teams from Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and all around the East Coast will be demonstrating choreographed programs that will be judged for speed, difficulty of maneuvers and precision, as well as for style and artistic expression.
The Terry Conners Synchronized Skating Open attracts about 1,000 skaters and coaches as well as more than 1,000 fans and supporters over the two-day event.
Last year the Shadows won the gold medal in the Terry Conners Open. The Sprites took bronze, and Shimmers took pewter.
Skaters for the teams reside in Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, Greenwich, Riverside, New Canaan and Westport, along with communities in Westchester County, N.Y.
The event is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday. More information is available online.
