Who is still watching this 40 years later and wishing they could go back to more innocent times?> - this dance is timeless and still the best of Torvill and Dean.
This is quite simply the greatest isn’t it , choreography is breathtaking, Mack and Mabel soundtrack is superb, i watched this when they first performed it and it remains a pivotal moment in ice dance , everything they do is magical and their contribution to sport is second to none 🥰❤️🥰
Wiping tears away watching this due to the pure art of it. How did they get that good? The skill and chemistry is such a one off in the history of any sport
Loved the theme and storyline of this FD. The costuming was brilliant. The technical skill was amazing, I get dizzy watching the number of hand/dance holds. And, the execution was most definitely 6.0. Nothing to say but "simply the best." Thank you for posting this.
I never tire of watching this. It is one of my favourite Torville and Dean routines. Love it, the music the Choreography, costumes the whole thing. They are IMO the most brilliantand best ice dancers of all time. Robbed of a second gold medal due to a illegal lift that really wasn't.💕
There is not a leg line out of place, everything is perfect, so innovative and the wonderful Alan Weeks commenting. 38 years later this is fresh and original. "Oh my goodness"! as Mr Weeks says!
I watch them every single day, you would wonder I don’t tire of them, but I never do, their artistry is above and beyond anyone else and they just make me happy. I wish I could meet them if only to see them once in my life. Going through Covid and staying indoors for this year has been hard on us all but I thank God I can immerse myself in the beauty T and D create.
Как замечательно,что Торвилл и Дин помогли вам перенести Covid,я думаю ,что не надо ограничиваться этим дуэтом. Посмотрите Грищук и Платова,там все гораздо гениальнее!!! Просто для начала посмотрите,а потом сами сделаете вывод.
This is still my favourite routine of theirs. I just love Mac 'n Mabel. They captured the era of silent movies perfectly. All 6's should've been given. It was perfect.
I watch Chris and Jayne dancing every day ~ even multiple times. They are the absolute best ever, and I’ll never tire of seeing their amazing artistry and beautiful relationship.
Thank you so much for this!! My other channel (D D Jay) has the World's FD but, yes, I think this is even better than it was at World's. My goodness, the innovation, execution, flair and drama, even after all these years, is breathtaking. Thank you again.
Such a beautiful performance and their faces at the end are adorable. Thank you for posting this. Our toddler daughter wore out my tapes watching Torvill and Dean.
❤ The first time I watched this and boy brought a tear to my eye 😢 they are more than brilliant best ever and now in there,60's still perform brilliantly ❤
This is still INCREDIBLE! I was only 8 at the time and remember it so well. What is so extraordinary is their chemistry. Watching it now it’s hasn’t dated in terms of skill and artistry.
And this is when they changed ice dancing programmes forever. Instead of excerpts from different pieces of music of varying tempo, with no underlying theme or story, T&D used one piece of music and dramatic storytelling. Such wonderful innovators.
Despite Bolero being mesmerizing, this is my favorite program. Technically, the program is extraordinarily difficult, and so well-executed that they make it look simple. The choreography is utterly amazing, and they bring out so many nuances of the music. This is true dancing on ice.
Всё в них идеально, - и техника, и артистизм, скольжение...Пара лучшая из лучших...Блистательные и непревзойдённые.Талант, помноженный на огромный труд...Замечательная и прекрасная Бети Калоуэй...Браво !!!
I've had the pleasure of watching them live many times. They're so smooth over the ice, you barely hear their blades.Я имел удовольствие наблюдать за ними вживую много раз. Они так гладко скользят по льду, что их лезвия почти не слышно Greetings from the UK
Thank you so much Flo! ☺ This was the better performance, and Chris's jacket stayed buttoned up. Lovely camera angles and more intimately covered. Before I had a VCR so this is a real gem for me to watch. At St Ivel Alan Weeks called it "a mini operetta", this, along with their Blues OSP which John Curry (also at St Ivel) described as "the most beautiful thing I've ever seen", what a glorious season that was! 👏 And for many of us, our fave FD. 💕💟
How delightful to see this. I'd heard about this FD but never seen it before due to an idiotic TV station in my city that didn't carry the CBS broadcasts of international figure skating events in the early 80's. Classic ice dancing and not mini-pairs as we have now.
I saw Jayne and Chris perform live in the nineties. They were magnificent, and they came over to chat to the audience after. Lovely, down-to-earth couple. And Jayne is so petite and slim, and I thought she looked very like Leslie Caron.
Saw them live in KC with the Russian All Stars. I spoke a little Russian and we got to meet them back stage. They are as genuinely as nice as they seem A highlight of my life 😊
It is way past time that Chris was knighted and Jayne made a Lady or Dame Im not sure what the appropriate accolade is? Lady Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean sounds much better!
I was KRAZY about them for 35 years and watched them all the time. I had a mega crush on Chris.. and then I met them. They were really haughty and Chris thinks he grew up in NottingHAM . He also feels American audiences are more sophisticated . I was heartbroken. I cannot deny they will never be bettered as ice dancers when they were at their peak but I don't watch them purposefully now . I hadn't looked for years when this came up on my feed . I have them in my soul but my heart is jaded about them now.😢
This is the far better video, and thanks for sharing it. All the footage from Copenhagen is SO DARK! Did they not have lights in that arena? This is my second favorite T&D FD; my favorite is the following year, to Barnum.
Although today’s ice dancing is considered more difficult, it’s just not as enjoyable to watch. When compared to classic T&D, modern ice dance pales in comparison. With T&D I am interested in the journey this couple is experiencing. In awe of their musicality. Their moves are musically and choreographically in sync. Today’s acrobatic feats for points are just tedious to watch.
Браво. Браво. Браво. Очень приятно видеть Танцы Шедевр и как здорово Выглядит Эта Прекрасная Пара в Танцах на Льду из Англии Бриллиант и Шедевр Англии.. Желаю вам здоровья счастья любви Взаимной и Радости в жизни. Огромное спасибо Вам за прекрасное видео и Танцы Шедевр очень Красивое Исполнение Танца Великолепное и Изящное. Благодарю вас.

Omg yes
Yes I am, what a floorless performance.. best times ever
Definitely my favorite T&D piece
Not sure about going back but this is special 😊
Me
1982 all those years ago today 2023 and I still smile whenever I watch this xxx
Watching in 2022 and still in awe
This is quite simply the greatest isn’t it , choreography is breathtaking, Mack and Mabel soundtrack is superb, i watched this when they first performed it and it remains a pivotal moment in ice dance , everything they do is magical and their contribution to sport is second to none 🥰❤️🥰
Wiping tears away watching this due to the pure art of it. How did they get that good? The skill and chemistry is such a one off in the history of any sport
Still gives me goose bumps watching it nearly 40 years later. Just brilliant!
This program never gets old...brilliant in '82-brilliant in 2020
And in 2022.....
And in 2024
Elegant, witty and flawless. They are still the best there has been.
You will never see better than these two.
Sheer class. They're still unbeatable.

Absolutely amazing, no one can ever touch them even today. They're unique in every way. Just so magnificent , I can watch them all day.
I've been watching them on You Tube for an hour or two almost every day. Love them.
It never gets old ...does it.
@@Curiousever Definitely not.
Me too! It will never get old. 🤩
Me too , Everything They did was Memorable:)
There is not a leg line out of place, everything is perfect, so innovative and the wonderful Alan Weeks commenting. 38 years later this is fresh and original. "Oh my goodness"! as Mr Weeks says!
Even if you break it down to the movement of individual muscles it's difficult to find a flaw.
@@peterd788 Totally agree. And now this performance is coming up to 41 years old!
I watch them every single day, you would wonder I don’t tire of them, but I never do, their artistry is above and beyond anyone else and they just make me happy.

wonderful ice dancers still today but these two broke the mould and no one will ever touch them , they changed their sport,
This is still my favourite routine of theirs. I just love Mac 'n Mabel. They captured the era of silent movies perfectly. All 6's should've been given. It was perfect.
Me too. I preferred this over Bolero, dare I say!
I agree the Mack and Mabel routine was the game changer for Ice Dancing
@@Person-mh6xq Definitely! Bolero was quite laboured. Mack and Mabel, and the Barnum routines are my favourites.
Everything flows so perfectly, so seamlessly, they were in a class of their own.
Superb skating, musicality, choreography
I never stop watching them, they just cheer me up....oh the good times...
Thank you for posting such a nice copy of this routine, including the scores.
I watch Chris and Jayne dancing every day ~ even multiple times. They are the absolute best ever, and I’ll never tire of seeing their amazing artistry and beautiful relationship.
Pure geniuses they are amazing today as they were then, beautiful xx
Thank you so much for this!! My other channel (D D Jay) has the World's FD but, yes, I think this is even better than it was at World's. My goodness, the innovation, execution, flair and drama, even after all these years, is breathtaking. Thank you again.
Such a beautiful performance and their faces at the end are adorable. Thank you for posting this. Our toddler daughter wore out my tapes watching Torvill and Dean.
I've bought all the dvds fairly cheaply off ebay so you may be able to rediscover them again through that.
I forgot how closely they skated together in this routine. A breakthrough masterpiece!
Sharing on our Facebook page.
❤ The first time I watched this and boy brought a tear to my eye 😢 they are more than brilliant best ever and now in there,60's still perform brilliantly ❤
Other worldly....why isn't ice dance like this anymore? So lucky to be alive to have seen all these performances xx
So right. recent olympics pale by comparison
Have you not seen Gemma Collins ice dance? 😂
I loved seeing their happiness with their 6’s. They deserve it, how hard they worked .
I love everything about this performance!
Two words describe it - pure genius.
What a surprise the USSR judge didn’t give a 6.0 ! They were fantastic,. Best ice dance pair ever in my opinion
Thanks for posting this! I could watch them all day!
Me too x
Absolutely breathtaking ❤❤❤
This is still INCREDIBLE! I was only 8 at the time and remember it so well. What is so extraordinary is their chemistry. Watching it now it’s hasn’t dated in terms of skill and artistry.
Captivating every time you watch it. And I can't stop watching it.
Couple admirable! C' est merveileux! Quelle harmony!
am still watching
And this is when they changed ice dancing programmes forever. Instead of excerpts from different pieces of music of varying tempo, with no underlying theme or story, T&D used one piece of music and dramatic storytelling. Such wonderful innovators.
But it did have change of tempo and style. Bolero did not.
As always, great program........Jane forever classy in her costume choices.
Despite Bolero being mesmerizing, this is my favorite program. Technically, the program is extraordinarily difficult, and so well-executed that they make it look simple. The choreography is utterly amazing, and they bring out so many nuances of the music. This is true dancing on ice.
Great !!! Difficult and fun, so perfect so torvill and Dean !!!
Beautifully skated & marvellous set of marks!

@@meansy7753 Вы счастливый человек...
Still enchanting. They were perfection. Brought back times of fun and pleasant times.
Showing what was possible & to come come....
They have never been beaten, pure artistry

Stunning!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
You deserved it. You earned it.
Величайшие навсегда!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fell in love with these two
Замечательный танец. Высокая скорость. Очень интересные шаги. Настоящие мастера.
Flawless. Just stunning 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Take my advice and put it at 1.5x speed. The most breathtaking sight of your life.
Уникальная пара! Смотрится великолепно ДО СИХ ПОР!!! Полный восторг!
They really were perfection.
As with all of Torvill and the Dean skates...show me anyone else who could do these dances...on ice skayes!...and so beautifully!!!
No one
They make it look so easy!
Sweet and Lovely.
How delightful to see this. I'd heard about this FD but never seen it before due to an idiotic TV station in my city that didn't carry the CBS broadcasts of international figure skating events in the early 80's. Classic ice dancing and not mini-pairs as we have now.
Великолепная пара, на все времена! Чудесное владение коньком!
Чудесно и кинематографично. Каждый жест точен!!!!!! Это сплошной восторг!
Absolutely fantabulous.
I agree. LOVE them. They are AMAZING. xxx.
Brilliant a class act and still going strong.
Мне всегда очень нравилась эта пара ! Никто лучше них не станцевал Болеро Равеля ! ❤❤❤💯💥👏👏👏✊👍🏾🙋♀️
Best ice dancers ever-love this and Barnum
Thank you
Wciąż wracam do tych filmów 🙏😊. Najcudowniejsza para. Talent, gracja, choreografie.... Coś niebywałego. Pozdrawiam serdecznie 😊🤗🇵🇱🙌🙌🙌🙌
The applause is always high .
The video disappeared for a bit. I'm glad it's back as it's my favourite version on here
Самые лучшие Джейн и Крис.
I really think this one is my favourite
Великие и единственные.
I saw Jayne and Chris perform live in the nineties. They were magnificent, and they came over to chat to the audience after. Lovely, down-to-earth couple. And Jayne is so petite and slim, and I thought she looked very like Leslie Caron.
Stylish and beautiful
LOVE
Saw them live in KC with the Russian All Stars. I spoke a little Russian and we got to meet them back stage. They are as genuinely as nice as they seem
A highlight of my life 😊
This remains my favorite Torvill & Dean - yes, even above Bolero - and a dance that pretty much resurrected a Broadway flop musical.
Bravo!
How comes these two were never knighted?
So fast and so close - Wow!
It is way past time that Chris was knighted and Jayne made a Lady or Dame Im not sure what the appropriate accolade is? Lady Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean sounds much better!
If it was Sir for Christopher, the it would be Dame for Jane. Lord/Lady is a peerage rather than a recognition.
Brilliance
Love them. Best ever.
I was KRAZY about them for 35 years and watched them all the time. I had a mega crush on Chris.. and then I met them. They were really haughty and Chris thinks he grew up in NottingHAM . He also feels American audiences are more sophisticated . I was heartbroken.

Alan Weekes was a great commentator

It's just the quality of the footage I'm guessing.
I absolutely LOVE Barnum⛸♥️ 🤡
Unbeatable to this day
¡Genial! ¡Incomparables!

Dancing on ice. Genius
Did they ever skate to St. ELMOS fire???
Brilliant!
