I want to practice them for the next season, or even for the Olympics - to be the program have already been practiced: set steps, spins, elements, transitions... Beforehand sew costumes. That is, fully prepared."

So, if these programs will be unique, then why not to skate them further? And they are really new for me: according by the images, movements, the choreography..."
