Ice skating disco spreads joy in Nuuk

Jesper Labansen, one of the enthusiasts behind the project ‘Sukuutserta – Let’s skate’, was behind the skating disco, which brought great joy to both children and adults in Nuuk over the weekend.

In the weeks leading up to the event, volunteers cleared snow and ensured that the ice was perfect for an evening filled with winter activities and joy.

- We are some enthusiasts who have spent many hours over the past weeks repairing the skating rink, which was damaged due to a lack of snow clearance during the change in weather. However, all the work is worth it for the well-attended event, where both children and adults clearly enjoy the day, Jesper Labansen tells Sermitsiaq.

On the evening itself, the music pulsated under colorful disco lights, and the DJ was busy taking music requests from especially the younger guests who were dancing on the ice. Many of those present borrowed the project's free skates, while those who had their own skates could have the edges sharpened on site with help from the local committee.

9.D from Atuarfik Hans Lynge created extra coziness with a stall where they sold cocoa and cakes to benefit their study trip.

Sukuutserta looks back on a successful evening and hopes that more volunteers will help keep the rink ready for snowfall, so that the skating disco can be repeated already this winter.
