I just don't know but it seems the skater are always seeking some partner to make a good vibration with each other and that's why skater like to skate in pair.
What do you think?

I'd like to make the point that these days very few successful skaters in pairs or dance start to learn to skate with a partner (whether for pairs or dance) at an advanced age.
This is an interesting question. I was never a pair skater but, I was dancer for a number of years and there's NOTHING worse than having a partner you don't get along with. I've seen Men drop their partners on purpose. I've seen Ladies kick men "Where it hurts" on several occasions.
My partner used to think it was funny to pull my armpit hairHow gross is that. :whack: Thank god I could sing.
That's very low and dangerous behaviors possibly to lead physical injuries and end their partnership or even their dancing career.
I felt the same way about Joshua Farris' SP in 2013-2014. At 2014 Nationals, I kept thinking: Is he too shy to try this with a lovely looking young woman? His persona also made it look worse when he tripped on his footwork.
Jenni Meno switched to pairs after she saw Gordeeva and Grinkov. She aspired to create something with another person on the ice, to have that powerful connection, or good vibration, as you said.
I too thought this program was probably a year or two too early for him.
You know who could do a great tango program? Alexa and Chris Knierim. It's a better fit for their personalities than the Elizabeth/Ever After/American in Paris programs that they have done.
I think Jenny switched to pairs when she took one look at Todd. I can't believe he still looks as good as he does. A truly attractive couple.
