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.

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