Senior Original Dance Thursday 4:50 EST

[~tapdancer]

I never thought I'd see the day when US ice dance would be our strongest discipline but right now...it is. We won medals galore in the GP series, both in senior and junior. Have some really fantastic dancers and the depth is amazing. Too bad they are mostly appreciated by hardcore skating fans, not the casual fan. Hopefully the Olympics next year will change that for our dancers. They deserve to be idolized as much as the singles...they work just as hard.

how'd Max & Trax do? They are always one of my favorites at nationals, they really seem to thrive in the performances.

standings don't really matter to me with them, so long as they're skating well...
