Hello everyone,
Apparently not only Gilles/Poirier march step sequence has been acclaimed by ISU. They have also appreciated the foxtrot of the Polish couple (16th in Boston) and it also has chances to become a compulsory dance in the future. Below a translation of an interview with Halina Gordon-Poltorak (head of Ice Dance technical committee) published yesterday by Polish Eurosport (http://eurosport.onet.pl/zimowe/lyz...rzy-doceniony-przez-swiatowa-federacje/3vc0lt).
The technical committee has declared that in the opinion of all its members and international judges the foxtrot part of the short dance of the Polish couple meets all the conditions and requirements to become a compulsory dance in the near future.
- Upon the season conclusion two foxtrot dances of Kaliszek/Spodirev and the march of the Canadian couple Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier have been chosen as a proposal of new compulsory dances - Halina Gordon-Poltorak, Head of the Ice Dance Technical Committee, said.
Now both couples and their coaches have to prepare the drawings of the dance, description of each step, each dance movement and once it is accepted by the ISU, it will be released on DVD and presented to all the athletes, coaches and judges.
- Everyone would have to study them. It is a long way. I expect the catalouge of compulsory dances will be published after the 2018 Olympic Games - Gordon-Poltorak added.
As for the foxtrot, the committe has appreciated the dance created by the Polish couple reflects what can be seen on the parquet, its lightness, dancing charater of the steps, technical difficulty and excellent performance.
Kaliszek and Spodirev placed 16th in Boston. He comes from Ukraine, but this year he received Polish citizenship. The couple trains in Poland and their coach is Sylwia Nowak-Trebacka (1994 junior world champion with Sebastian Kolasinski).
They are really happy about the news and very excited about preparing all the documentation and inventing the name for their original dance.
