... The New Dance Team ...

Best wishes to Daniel and his new partner :).

LOL, I was never 100% sure which one of the former partners was your child ... until now ;).

I hope that they remain on friendly terms, and I hope it is not a touchy subject to ask whether you have any update on Alex?

Is there any video of Danielle skating? What about Aldridge, has she found a partner?

Forgive me for not being too familiar, but is it common for a new partner to jump from novice to senior etc.? It seems like a huge imbalance. Also the age difference is pretty big.

Thomas did compete junior this year with Alexander Martin. Placed 11th out of 12.

Oh didn't notice that, the other article I googled said novice. Thanks :)

Will there be an imbalance possibly? Still seems like a pretty big jump.

Honestly, there may be. But until we see them skate together, no one can really say that the partnership will 100% be doomed. If they're really the right partners for each other, then they'd just need time to up the tech content.

Had a fun time at Fraser Summer Classic. Had nice Judges Critiques today, so back to work on Monday Morning with coaches and getting ready for Lake Placid and rest of season. Not sure if events today are on YouTube or not.

Thank You to over 600 fans that have watched our video's the last couple of days! We have a wonderful announcement coming soon. In the meantime, I'm working on a video to be released right after the Lake Placid Ice Dance Competition. Should be a fun video. Sonia Lee, Violinist, recorded our free dance music live and Marina and Massimo did the Choreography. Sonia did the background music for University of Michigan Hospital's Public Service Announcement. Enjoy

The teasers have been fun, but I'm hoping someone will post a video of them actually training and/or performing one of their programs. I for one am very interested to see how they are as a couple.
