To honor them, I give you what I consider the greatest recording of Bolero:

Both Torvill and Dean's dance and the recording of Bolero you posted were amazing and wonderful. Thanks for the reminder...Torvill and Dean, my first ice dance loves! I will never forget them.

Wow, thank you for this reminder. I cannot get over how beautiful this dance is/was. After so many years, and viewing it so, so, so many times - it still gives me chills and makes me weep at the end. Their lines, edges, shapes the make, unison and - what's the word for how the choreography is constructed - the parallelisms? is that it>...just blow me away.

thanks again for the link!

I always remember that moment. It was pure magic. Torvil and Dean received a string of perfect 6.0 marks. To me it will always be their best program and probably the benchmark for any ice dance team to strive to emulate.

Thanks for this.

That was beautiful, wow 25 years already. That dance never gets old.

T&D's Bolero is the reason I now watch Ice Dance. Prior to seeing their Olympic performance of Bolero, I skipped Dance.

Another one that never gets old IMO....
