About ice time

We have two and a half hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, when we can work virtually alone. And if suddenly we realize that it is necessary to work out more, you can go on the ice during any session. No one will expel.

About Ruslan

I do not remember how come a time when I knew I could trust Ruslan best. But now I'm ready to take the risk. Ruslan is a very reliable partner. He always catches me, and if he realizes that he does not have time, he first falls to somehow soften the blow to me.

- Ruslan helps me a lot. I always had little contact with the skaters. Me not very comfortable in the company, where all just discussing skating or each other. When we teamed up with Ruslan and began to talk, he said that he never thought that I was so kind, open-minded person. And for me, Ruslan became a true friend. We spend a lot of time together. Ruslan and his girlfriend live in the neighborhood. It is also very supportive of us. When we returned from China, made ​​a real holiday: any goodies at the ready, the apartment was decorated. When we arrive after training in a bad mood, it calms us, especially me. Together we can go to the movies, listen to music. It's great. If you do not communicate outside of the sport, the ice any stories look too willfully.

About Carmen

He (Najarro) worked with us on the style, put all rastantsovki confused:). When Antonio spoke with us, he said that this story is not about toreodora not about Jose, notably Carmen - about strong women who admired that hated and feared. He said that very well see me on the spot Carmen.

The free

- In the free dance, you is quite different.

- With any program was heavier. In short subject was given initially. And here it was necessary to invent something ourselves, none of us really understood what he wanted. Take some active music no longer wanted - enough for Spain in the compulsory dance. For too serious work, we were not ready, because at the time when choosing the music, not yet fully understand how we feel together. In the end, we decided on "Appassionata» Secret Garden, which came to nothing tied, and tried to create a sincere love story between a man and a woman.

About their team

I understand that you feel comfortable enough in the new team and actively participate in all decisions.

- Of Course. We were very lucky with Ruslan with the team. None of the coaches do not dictate to us what to do, we are discussing. They know that we need to understand their characters and the images that we went. No matter how much a genius coach, a lot depends on the athletes. The coach also did not skate program at the event. Especially in this case, when you have to work with established athletes who learned everything from his childhood. The only thing that can be in such a situation, the coach - to give direction where to go and help psychologically. Now we live and work in an atmosphere of absolute love and understanding. I can come up with any problem with any request. I am a very creative person, who sometimes do not give a thought to sleep. It's cool when you can not keep them to himself, not afraid to approach the coach and offer something. You listen, you and I will advise. Very important to me such support.

Very sassy. They could choose some sassy music next season. Something that make use of Lena's divaness, lol

She has some great pictures on FB as well, really sweet

I don't think Lena is much of a diva. I think it's a case of a look overshadowing the obvious. She seems to be very conservative, protective of herself, keeping her closest friends very few and away from ID or figure skating. I think her team should shock people and go in the opposite direction of what people expect of her a bit, although she has said she would love to do a tango. I'd like to see her interpretation tbh.

Tango is very difficult and I would love to see a good one on Ice. For me the last great tango program I've seen was G&P in 1997. Just WOW!

Totally agree on this!
For some reason I/Z strike me as the people who would do a very sizzling tango

 

[bramweld]

The music that the Shibs used for their gala would make a very interesting FD for Ruslena given their SS. Or something similar. I also like The Blower's Daughter, The Adagio from Spartacus, Romeo and Juliet, just something sophisticated and complex, they can dance and skate so I think they could pull it off.

I think so too. Although with so many rules that ID has today it will be difficult.
They need Guillermina Quiroga to do thei choreo. She did the one for G&P too.

 

[uhh]

I bet Antonio would agree to work on a tango program with them in a heartbeat!
