In all the figure skating shows that I have seen on TV and attended in person, this is the first time I ever saw the Compulsory Dance segment. It is never shown on TV, and in competitons it is the least well attended event. (Tanith Belbin mentioned how different it felt to be skating a colmpulsory before a full house for the first time in her career.)
I was totally mesmerized. That was just so pretty. To me, the Ravensberger Waltz was way more entertaining that all that razzmataz that the competitors do in the Original and Free Dances.
They should have three segments like that. Say, the Waltz, the Cha-cha and the Quickstep. That would be great. (No, the Waltz, the Tango and the Swing.)
The other thing is, do away with all that business about judging and giving out marks. That doesn't contribute anything.
If I could skate, I would become an ice dancer (if I could dance.)
