The Kurt Files has been compiled to provide extensive background on
the figure skater known as Kurt Browning, aka "The Kid from Caroline",
aka "Skate God Jr.," as well as to track his current skating
activities and public appearances. The skater has been known to take
on various guises, from clown to flamenco dancer to cowboy, but can be
recognized by his fast feet and personal charisma. If anyone has seen
him, or has any information on his whereabouts, please contact me at
webmaster@kurtfiles.com.
Kurt, who is the director-choreographer of the 2024 Stars on Ice tour,
took time out of his busy schedule prepping the show in Japan to
answer some fan questions about the show. He gave some sneak peeks
into the Canadian tour and offered insight into his creative
process. He and Alissa recorded this video from rink side at the
Ractab Dome in Osaka, Japan. Thanks, Kurt and Alissa!
