I recently downloaded Kurt Browning's Nyah, and finally saw it yesterday. It is one of the most brilliant and remarkable programs I have ever seen, translating flamenco movement to blades.

So hard to select only one, after 37 consecutive years of watching & following international figure skating!

My choice:

"Barnum on Ice" free dance - Torvill & Dean - Worlds 1983, Helsinki

Honorable Mentions, in chronological order:

"Moonlight Sonata" LP - Protopopovs, 1968 Olympics, Grenoble

"La Valse" LP - Janet Lynn...don't remember the year, right now! 1971 Worlds, I think...

"Don Quixote" LP - John Curry, 1976 Olympics, Innsbruck

"Gershwin Piano Concerto" LP, first version - Underhill/Martini, Worlds 1983, Helsinki (I prefer this version to the 1984 one)

"Irma La Douce" LP - Liz Manley, 1988 Olympics, Calgary

Spanish-themed SP - Oksana Baiul, 1993 Worlds, Prague (I prefer this to her LP or the next yr's Swan SP)

"Thais Meditation" LP - Berezhnaia/Sikharulidze, 2002 Olympics, Salt Lake

"Doctor Zhivago" LP - Johnny Weir, 2004 US Nationals

This is hard....

Ladies:
SP - Kwan's 1998 Rach.
LP - Kwan's Salome or Black Swan
Ex or Pro: Kwan's Fields of Gold or Kristi's Bridge over Troubled Waters

Men:
SP - Yagudin's Winter
LP - Yagudin's Man in the Iron Mask
EX - Yagudin's Overcome or Boitano's Music of the Night

Pairs:

This one is a bit harder for me. I like many for different reasons. I would have to say I loved G&G's Tango SP number in 1994. I also adored their Olympic program in 1988. The Man I love is also to die for.

Dance:
T&D's Bolero and G&P's 1994 FD

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tracey Wilson and Rob McCall's 1988 free dance to a Scott Joplin medley. I think that and the Bourne and Kraatz Riverdance are my favorite programs.
