I am definitely not going to promise immediate play by play...but IN is going to carry the CD:

Here's the reference info on the Golden Waltz.

The dance was invented by Dubova, and first skated by Klimova & Ponomarenko in the 1986/1987 season as a waltz OSP.

Features are a solo turn by the lady, and a a shoot the duck position by the lady.
The pattern has deep lobes which should absolutely not be cut off or flattened (this is hard to see on TV unless the station shoots wide angle shots)

It should be light hearted and have a real waltz lilt to it.

The changes of position should be smooth, moving effortlessly from one to the other, and not jerky.

Here are some examples of couples skating the Golden Waltz. Most of the older skaters will have competed this dance before. Furthermore, it was skated at Finlandia this year, and at TEB. It is a senior dance only, so skaters coming up from Juniors will not have competed the dance before.

The Kerrs are not competing here. They are scheduled for NHK next week. Since the the 3rd chinese team Guo/Meng just withdrew I guess we'll have only 9 teams again :no:

Thanks so much for the Links. The Golden Waltz is propably the only CD I think I'd be able to sit through the whole event live. :thumbsup::love:

Zadorozhnuk/Verbilo. She i in feathers, he is silver shirt and black trousers. I can't say I dislike the dress though! A. Gorshkov is their coach with them at K&K. Different class of course, much softer and lighter.Loads of speed.
Weaver/Poje. She is in under the knee white dress, he is in classic frack. Not bad I guess but I liked privious couple more.
2nd warmup is on!

I remember this couple from Canada from 4CC this past year! :)

I loved their dance. She has always reminded me of Haley Mills & Shae Lynn Bourne. :)

Lovely dance.:love:

Who was that first couple, they looked like twins (i.e. brother & sister twins). :)

Tanith & Ben look gorgeous as usual!

As well as everybody else.

It's fun to look at everybody's costumes during warmup.
