Back in 2006, it was initially accounced that Mao would have two coaches, Raphael and Lee Barkell.
As far as what I hear from people talking, Raphael sounds like a technical coach whereas Lee Barkell may be more for the whole package.
I wonder if she has ever worked with Lee. If so, does she still have any connection with him?
I also wonder if she has any other coaches than Tarasova who help her artistry. At Kiss & Cry, she occasionally is with a blond gentle lady along with Raphael. Is she a choreographer or a dance teacher who helps her artistically?
It looks like Mao has main coaches and a main choreographer in different parts of the world (Raphael in the US, Tarasova in Russia, and Lori in Canada). I wonder how all the team members communicate with each other and decide on strategies. It's really international. Very interesting
