David Wilson (figure skater)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Wilson is a Canadian former figure skater who currently works as a choreographer. As a skater, his competitive career was cut short when he was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease. Following surgery on his knee, then 18-year-old Wilson toured with Ice Capades in North America and then with Holiday On Ice in Europe.
With his then-partner, Jean-Pierre Boyer, the openly gay Wilson settled in Montreal and began working as a choreographer. Their breakout client was Sébastien Britten.
Notable clients include Brian Orser, Jeffrey Buttle, Sasha Cohen, Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon, Cynthia Phaneuf, Shawn Sawyer, Christopher Mabee, Nobunari Oda, Joannie Rochette, Emily Hughes, Alissa Czisny, Kim Yu-Na, Jessica Dube & Bryce Davison, Jessica Miller & Ian Moram, Nicholas Young, Daisuke Murakami, Ben Ferreira, Sébastien Britten, and Frederic Dambier.
Wilson currently works out of the Toronto Cricket and Skating Club.
