Moscow, 4 Jul-r-sports, Maria Vorobieva. 2013 world junior champions in ice dancing, Russians Alexandra Stepanov and Ivan Bukin in the new free dance will use the legendary Beatles song "Eleanor Rigby," as told to "r-Sports"by the skaters' coach, Alexander Svinin.
Stepanova and Bukin finished last season in sixth place in the Championship of Russia and didn't make it to the national team to participate at the European, world and Olympic Games. After this finish, the skaters returned to competition at the junior level, winning the Russian Junior Championship, but due to illness, the partners had to miss competing at the World Junior Championship.
"The short dance this season is a Paso doble-we are using a classic orchestral performance," said Svinin over the phone, "And for free dance, we chose a song by The Beatles, "Eleanor Rigby", is a very well known piece. I must say that this year the guys take on it will be very different. "
"The idea in principle," Svinin shared, "We have arranged the music in an interesting way-there is a violinist, the guys liked her very much. The words in the song begin in the second half of the program. We do not stray far from the theme song, which tells a story about lonely people. We tried to keep the mood of the song and lyric very strongly. In a nutshell-these are two lone Wanderer on ice ".
The coach also shared his impressions of the new short dance. "As it turned out, Sasha & Ivan have a very classic program," said Svinin. -"We picked up the song, which is very strong, with a good Orchestra, filling all their sound. In a word-it's a classic, and classic is always a very sound choice. "
