Canadian coach

 

[Seven Sisters]

Dubreuil & Lauzon, Canadian coaches with their own dance empire

Who would like to name their favorite skaters/programs to come out of that school?

 

[skylark]

I would say that D/L work splendiferous magic with so many of their dancers, and some of my favorites who took what I consider to be a practically astronomical artistic leap when they transferred to D/L are Gaby/Guillaume, Madison/Zach, Madi/Evan and Kaitlyn/Jean-Luc.

But I'll choose just one example: Madi/Evan's Elvis FD. It was like light bursting through to show a team who've been a favorite since I first saw them (2013-14) ... highlighting their special qualities and bathing them in this aura of confidence. I think that's what D/L do with all the above teams as well.

[iluvtodd]

^ Yes! In the summer of 2009, we finally got to meet Brian Orser "up close & personal" @ the Liberty Summer Competition @ Ice Works in Aston, PA. Adam wasn't competing there, but he was being monitored by USFS. We got to see him skate for about a half hour straight through, without music. What a treat to watch him!

Pechalat & Bourzat had one, though it looked to have been thrown together hurriedly and was unworthy of their talents
