What really matters, as you point out, is the understanding of the rhythm and the beat, as well as the skater's ability to convey an emotional connection with the music--which could be a connection entirely different from the one implied by the original storyline. I mean, really--if someone skates to the majestic sound track from Jurassic Park, must she be portraying a dinosaur?
:thumbsup: Good point. Maybe that's why I can't recall any female skaters using the soundtrack of Jurassic park.
It's a pity skater's rarely deviate from the original storyline of the music. I think one of the reason that happens is because they want the audience to 'get' what their trying to portray. B/A's Tosca routine, for instance, seemed to follow the storyline of the opera very closely, up till the suicide scene.
