The Progressive Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular, which brings the top stars in both sports together in a single performance, must have been a success at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in December 2008.

They’re coming back in a couple of weeks.

The Rushmore Plaza Civic Center and Disson Skating announced the new spectacular will be Friday, Oct. 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the civic center. Tickets are $45 to $125.

The show will feature an all-star lineup in gymnastics, figure skating and music. Olympic gymnasts Shawn Johnson – also a “Dancing with the Stars” winner – and Nastia Liukin will perform. Skaters Todd Eldredge and Emily Hughes will be on the ice. And for music, Ashley Tisdale of “High School Musical” will there as well.

The civic center’s new ice arena will be the venue. From what I heard from people who went to last year’s spectacular, the floor is divided like a three-ring circus. Gymnasts perform at each end, with skating in the middle.

And if you go, smile a lot. You could be on national television. The performance will be aired on NBC television on Jan. 10, 2010. Check the listings for the exact time.
