Melissa and Denis have updated their website and have added "Olympian Uncut" to it...
They have been busy teaching and training in Ct...They recently performed in a show in Chicago. (on their website).
They will be touring in Canada according to the video.
Kudos to two lovely people and wonderful skaters.
are they coming back to competition? With Davis and White I forgot about them...but loved thier Adam and Eve program.
it doesn't look like they'll be around this season... but at least they're still active in shows and coaching (and choreography)... I do miss their skating something awful, though.
According to the comments section on Youtube, yes, they plan to return to eligible skating next season..Originally Posted by Tinymavy15

Oh... nothing but the best wishes for these two. I remember a New York Times article before the last Olympics that talked about how financially challenging it was, even for them ... National silver medalists.. but adults, trying to pursue their sport. Their story should continue, and even if it is not on a eligible competitive stage, they have much to offer the sport and its fans, and I hope there will be many more ways and times that we can all enjoy them.
There's a little mention on Denis and Melissa on Icenetwork.com. They have an article about how different skaters celebrate the holidays. Also, check out the gallary photos of skaters celebrating to see a young Johnny dressed as a reindeer.
I seen that photo of Johnny, the girl in the pic beside him said she was his former partner...did Johnny used to compete in dance or pairs?!
He competed in pairs the first year of skating.
Great news for them.
their second video is up on their youtube channel.
