Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir Bio

Tessa was born on May 17, 1989, in London, Ontario, Canada to her parents Kate and Jim Virtue. She is an alumnus of Holy Names High School in Windsor. Virtue has always loved to dance. At a very young age, she knew what she already wanted to be.

Growing up, she was greatly involved in sports, training in gymnastics and others. But this did not stop her from getting an education. Virtue attended the University of Windsor where she studied psychology and is said to have finished from the University of Western Ontario. Skating and ice dancing for Tessa started long before she went into the professional platform.

By the time Tessa Virtue made her debut with Scott at the 2003/04 Junior Grand Prix, she was warming up for an unforgettable encounter with notable skating coaches Igor Shpiband and Marina Zueva. Before dwelling on her skating journey with Scott, let us get to know more about him.

Scott Moir was born on September 2, 1987, also in London, Ontario, Canada. For Moir, skating is a way of life in his family. Growing up with an older brother like the popular ice dancer Danny Moir and a coach Alma Moir, his mother, there was no way he could have escaped the skating path even if he wanted to. Scott got his high school education at Medway High School in Arva Ontario.

Now to the interesting skating journey; As early as the late 90s, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir were skating together. They were paired for the first time by Moir’s aunt, Carol Moir in 1997, and since then, they have been skating together. Carol was their coach at the time but soon enough, they trained with Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing.

In 2004 they both moved to Michigan US and started training with Igor Shpiband and Marina Zueva. After making their Junior Grand Prix entry in the 2004/04, they grabbed the junior title at the 2004 Canadian Championship and qualified for that year’s World Junior Championships.
