Sorry, but this dance is horrible. Just rush across the rink from one element to another with a bit of adagio pair skating in the middle. Not to mention the very concept of 34 y.o. woman portraying Christine... And in white dress... And they got the musical score backwards. Nothing "dance-y" about this program. I would have them somewhere below Khokhlova/Novitsky.
