even though this is just an exhibition program and so the technical content was watered down, there were rumors this might have served as a short program had Kwan returned.

can anyone who is knowledgeable about footwork level it? the footwork sequence actually lasts for about 33 seconds starting at around 4:00

Another fancam:

There's several fancams and performances available but I didn't choose the official one because the director decided to do a faraway overhead shot right at the start of the footwork sequence :rolleye:

I can't answer the question about the footwork sequence, but I think you are right that this was choreographed as a short program when Michelle was briefly toying with the idea of competing in 2010. Thanks for the videos. :love:

By the way, the dress that Yuna Kim is wearing in the introduction looks quite a bit like her LP dress at Sochi.

That's her Danse Macabre dress
