Do knee/body slides count here? If so, Paul Wylie & Todd Eldredge's knee/body slides (case in point - Todd's "Il Mare Calmo de la Sera").

For those who like sliding moves, the new version of the dance rules have added a Choreographic Sliding element, so expect to see several in any dance competition this season.

Bourne & Kratz: Their Entire Career! Which is one reason why I absolutely LOVED them!

Piper and Paul have a good choreographic sliding movement into a stationary spin to end their Vincent FD this year, which I think is very effective.

Jason Brown does beautiful spirals and hydroblades... here in his 2016 FS at Skate America to The Piano... hydroblade is at 3:32 preceded by two gorgeous spirals..

Thank you for reminding me that I do not watch The Piano nearly enough.

I really like the exit of this hydroblade (gif). Videos on youtube are blocked but I have found a clip on twitter https://twitter.com/tegomass/status/985410773714391041. The hydroblade is at 0:38

It is gorgeous (that whole finale is, Shae-Lynn is brilliant with him). I do think the one in his Seimei is equal and may actually be THE iconic skating move of the Olympics, the last quad and possibly the last decade, if you count how many pictures/gifs in both skatingdom, the press and the web at large... it was the perfect single visual bite.
