On TV shows like Regis and Kelly, when they have ice skaters on, what are they skating on, is it really ice?

This morning (Christmas Eve) I was watching Regis and Kelly, they had High School Musical on Ice doing a performance, they were ice skating on someting, but I can't imagine it is really ice. How do they get that much ice into the studio. I want to know if it is some other thing that they use to do it, to let the people skate on. I have seen it on other shows too, 'The View' and other morning talk shows do it a lot. What is that stuff, I was thinking a slick cellaphane type thing.

Yep, it's real ice. Cellophane tape isn't slippery. It was all pre-recorded.
Reply:You know it could not be ice, but rather some sort of man made surface that allows the blades of the skates to think they are skating on ice......
