California Sisters Take Center Stage For Disney On Ice

SAN DIEGO, CA -- What started out as an extracurricular activity for two California sisters has turned into a career. Jana and Cara Klingseis of Escondido will appear in Disney on Ice's "Frozen" this week when it premieres in San Diego.

The two said they began ice-skating with their friends and fell in love with the sport.

"I had a lot of friends who skated in the San Diego area and it was always a cool thing to do during the hot California summers," said Jana, who has been working for Feld Entertainment, the company that produces Disney on Ice, since 2011.

A few years after Jana, 26, joined the tour, Cara, 28, tagged along.

Both said working with their sister has become encouraging for them.

"Working with Jana is wonderful," Cara said. "We support each other and we are great friends."

"It's an amazing experience to work with my sister," Jana added. "We have always been best friends and it’s great to have someone so close, especially with all the time we spend traveling away from home."

Disney on Ice's "Frozen" will play at Valley View Casino Center beginning Wednesday and run through Sunday. The show focuses on the the story of the Disney film staring sisters Anna and Elsa.

The show will also include special appearances from Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and characters from "Toy Story," "Finding Dory," and "The Lion King."
