Netchaeva and Tchesnitchenko Cultivate a Dynasty of Their Own

[gsk8]

In the late 1990s, a figure skating coach emerged from a rink in Detroit, Michigan, and began to build a dynasty that would put United States Ice Dance on the international radar.

Nice profile. Good to see a strong ice dance school that's a viable alternative to Shpilband/ Zueva. Not that I have any problem with the latter, but variety is always welcome.

Great article. Thank you, Elvin and Paula. :agree: The Ann Arbor ice dance program rules! Now all they have to do is get University of Michigan* students Meryl Davis and Charlie White to switch over and train there, LOL.

BTW, the Rhodesian Ridgeback (African Lion Hound) is one heck of a dog. They literally are used to hunt lions in South Africa, and can hold a full grown lion at bay.

OT: Don't i know it! I rented a room in a old couple's mansion in Chester for a year of my studies and they had one that took 6 months to warm to me being in the house. The first three months i'd let myself into the house, the snalring dog would jump up and clang its closed teeth against my arm or face as a very clear warning - i've been trained to not harm you but i could eat you with one bite if i weren't better trained!
