Interesting combination for me of programs I associate with the beginnings of my watching figure skating (or in V/M's case, watching that particular discipline) and programs that have recently been on my mind for whatever reason.

Also FWIW, in a couple cases I had an immediate second program pop into my mind- Ashley Wagner's Moulin Rouge was one, Savchenko/Massot's La terre vue du ciel was another.

Also I forgot Original Dance! Davis/White, Bollywood/Indian folk dance
