“Their chemistry and unison on the ice, I don't think anyone can match that. They have come out with a free dance that shows what they are best at.” (x)

TBT to the time when VM third wheeled their marks, their coaches, and an entire arena full of fans.

“What does this performance say to the rest of the world?” (x)

[indefinableship]

“A simple theme about how a man and a woman should feel about each other and the joyful celebration of that feeling. I think... I think that came across.” (x)

“If you look down at the feet, the blades have to be precise. You either step in on an inside or outside edge. Every step, exact.”

“Which is not hard to do if you’re not doing the upper body accentuating, maybe leaning the other way. And that’s what these guys do so well. They add to the difficulty within the set dance.” (x)

[indefinableship]

“So crisp, and aggressive, and confident in every move are these two.”

“Watch how these two use of wonderful free legs, the unison, body shapes to get the character of the dance.”   (x)

S: “I enjoy the intricate dances that are very demanding – when the couple must stay close in position while being very accurate with their feet. The Tango Romantica and Golden Waltz are great examples of set pattern dances I prefer.” (x)

“Some people will watch an ice dance compulsory competition and find it boring because everybody is doing the same thing. I love it! Because it allows you to compare oranges with oranges, and it’s really being able to find the subtleties of the dance. And watch how these two use wonderful free legs, the unison, body shapes, to get the character of the dance.” (x)

Bonus: “In replay you can really see the superior qualities of this team. Beautiful unison, great speed, as well as tremendous edges.” (x)
