Q&A: my skating career, pairs skating, injuries, life outside of skating AND what's next!

[@wanderlustalley]

Go Brianna!! ❤ So fun working with you on Libby & sending all the love! ☺

[@briannamarie11]

It was so much fun working with you too! Hope you are doing well ♥️☺️

[@Alexschern]

You have a talent for storytelling, and your responses have helped me understand you better. You are a true warrior-keep it up!

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words ☺️

I am from just outside of Toronto. I love visiting Vancouver it’s a great part of Canada. I was delighted to see your latest video. You look rested and healthy which I am pleased to see. I was sorry the way the last Cruise turned out for you. It must be hard being so far away from family and not be feeling very well. I think it must be challenging working on a ship, up to 2 shows a day plus rehearsals etc. I do hope you get a good Contract next and not too long.

[@briannamarie11]

Hello to a fellow Canadian! I also like Toronto 😊 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It’s definitely hard to be away from family and friends especially when you’re going through a tough time, but having to be so independent has taught me a lot.

[@ruthbickerstaffe1915]

@@briannamarie11 Thank you for your lovely reply !!!! I could not imagine being gone so long away from home. I hope that you get a lovely ship next time and a nice show. My family (two sons, their wifes, one has 2 little girls and both sets of inlaws just came back from 11 days (ex Miami Dec 26th - January 5th 2025 on Explorer of the Seas. ) It was a truly wonderful vacation, lovely crew everywhere on the ship. But I missed my 2 cats something terrible. I cannot say enough good things about this ship, crew and food. Of course the warm weather was such a bonus too. The Ice Skating Show was one of the first things we did (first thing was lunch at the Windjammer. ) I look forward to more videos from you . 😄

Just to bring you up to speed on Jordan. She reached her 1000 subscriber goal on KZbin so it IS possible. She had a short time with Callum before her contract ended and she just completed a Virgin cruise with her mother. She hasn't been skating and I think her knee is still bothering her.

[@ryanm7249]

It is wonderful you are able to do something you have a passion for and make a living out of it. Would you consider Disney on ice at some point? Best of luck, and thank you for sharing your career with us.

[@briannamarie11]

Agreed! I’m so grateful to be able to make a living doing something I’m passionate about! I just wish I could do it forever 😬 That’s a great question about Disney on Ice. I think I’ll save it for a future Q&A!

[@designdoctor247]

as an entrepreneur and business major you CAN skate for a living for your life... pray for ideas...for example YOU can start making contacts NOW about sharing your passion, skating and preforming into your 30ies, 40ies, 50ies, and YES beyond. Think about this idea...a large portion of cruise clients ARE over 30, 40, 50❤, 60❤ and I BELIEVE they WANT to SEE preformers their age. They want to see themselves as the ATHLETES they ARE! soooo start a furtue company and contract it to ships ...your dad and mom, Jordan's mom and MANY others could help you.🤗 Start encouraging ... Advocating NOW for a couple of people your parents age to BE in each cast and WATCH the audiance respond ❤ also let Jordan's dad advocate for you skaters to get contracts that keep you HEALTHY...for instance...if a jump is causing an injury during your contact that jump can be replaced with "whatever" have in in your CONTRACT. and advoate for the danger tricks REMOVED...as an audiance member i DO NOT want to see them...I can not be alone...i ENJOY the show...NOT the danger!

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you for watching! I'm excited to share more about what's next 😊

[@stomas5640]

So glad you're doing another ship contract. I could watch ice skating for hours

[@briannamarie11]

Same here! It’s athletic, but there’s also something so magical about the sport ☺️

[@Deborah-s9t]

Hi Breanna, Enjoyed your Q n A, and so glad you did one. That's exciting that you have a contract lined up, hopefully you can tell us when you know what's going on. Have a wonderful day

[@briannamarie11]

[@lorraineprewett9417]

So fun getting to know you better. Wow, what a long beautiful career you've had! Good luck with whatever is next - can't wait to follow your journey!

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you ♥️ I know… I never thought skating would still be such a huge part of my life at this age!

[@RobertHansenRob]

Thanks for sharing your journey. I didn't even think about having to get a dance partner. Its so great that you decided to return to the ice. Hope you are feeling much better

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you 😊 Yeah it’s definitely a challenge to find the right partner sometimes!

[@janh5199]

This was fascinating! Thank you for the good explanations and for insetting the video clips.

[@briannamarie11]

I'm glad you found it interesting! Thanks for appreciating the video clips. I thought they would help give some context 😊

[@hugoalejandrovillaltamena9740]

Its nice to get to know a little more of you , thanks for sharing those details of your life with us 😊

[@blessedmom3599]

aww. i think you answered a question I asked you about keeping the same partner or change on each ship. Thank You so much for answering.

[@briannamarie11]

I'm glad I could answer your question! It was a good one ☺️

[@galina9691]

Good luck 👍 Waiting for details when you can share. Stay safe and healthy 🙏

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you! I'll be sure to share updates when I can 😊

[@SusanSheehy]

It’s great to get an update! I’m headed to Vancouver for the first time in June, what is a don’t miss in your opinion!?!?

[@briannamarie11]

That’s exciting about your trip to Vancouver! Definitely check out Stanley Park and the seawall, on a beautiful day it’s so nice to walk or bike around it. I also really like Gastown. There’s a lot of history there 😊

[@Princesskristin77]

Always love your vlogs Brianna!

[@briannamarie11]

Thank you 🫶

[@jennalupi641]

Yay trying to get through work and saw this. Thanks for keeping me company 😅

[@briannamarie11]

Haha I love throwing on videos in the background too. Glad I could keep you company!

[@salliestewart4713]

Very informative and yes I now feel I know you better!!❤

[@jimnickerson5561]

Does your sister skate professionally?

[@denisemiller9296]

Great Job and you are so nice and deserve the best.

[@tracymayertravel]

Thank you for sharing I learned a lot. I hope what you have in the works comes through! That is exciting. Since you have such a great background in singles skating would you ever consider trying out for a single spot in the future?

[@briannamarie11]

I’m glad you learned a few things! That’s a great question and I think I’ll save it for a future video 😊

[@tracymayertravel]

@@briannamarie11 awesome I will watch for it. :)

[@rosemaryyoung513]

Is it right that RCCL have stopped people videoing their life on ships now. I have seen dancers post about this.

[@chrisromano4584]

❤ , I hope you and Jordan get to work together again .😊

[@briannamarie11]

I hope so too! I’d love to work with Jordan again someday! 💕

[@chrisromano4584]

❤ wishing you all the best

[@chrisromano4584]

@ ❤️

[@mjcompas]

Question did you have a roommate when you first got your sign on utopia just wondering 😊

[@briannamarie11]

Yes, I had a roommate for the entire length of the contract 😊

[@mjcompas]

Did they juggle people around when you moved in Jordan caban

[@alkruzins1168]

Well spoken Interesting background We’re from Canada and understand skating Tough to compete and stay on top Read that Royal has updated their vlogging guidelines? Maybe will affect your future blogs? Good luck on next contract We’re on Explorer now with Seasons show here

[@briannamarie11]

Very true that it’s tough to stay at the top in competitive skating. I’m not sure of the policy details, but I’ll try my best to keep up with the vlogs and including what I can show. Enjoy your cruise on explorer! I’ve heard it’s a nice show 😊

[@ColoRadio6996]

Will you be skating on the new RC ship, in the new show? Stay safe...

[@briannamarie11]

No, I won’t be on the new ship this year!

[@dutchman3525]

You and Jordan are equally mysterious to the same question. Both in the confirmation stage. It will probably be nothing.

[@briannamarie11]

Things can always change up until your contract starts, so I plan to wait closer to the start date to share more details 😊

[@ronniehayes6422]

Did your sister also skate? Which of you is the oldest?

[@briannamarie11]

She does skate too! I’m the older sibling 😊

[@chrisromano4584]

Must be hard to date will skating . The movie the cutting edge great movie

[@briannamarie11]

It’s definitely difficult to date while working on ships. I’ve never seen The Cutting Edge, but I’ve heard it’s a classic!
