    They really are the greatest ice skaters/dancers ever. I was a skater for many years and have had the pleasure to see some wonderful performances. But there has never been anyone to equal or come close to Torvil and Dean. They are a once in a lifetime partnership. Everyone skating now are good, even spectacular, but when compared to Torvil and Dean, they look like amateurs.

      @@ellenR007 I think they could be with better choreography, but their artistry doesn't quite compare. Nearly everything Torvil and Dean did was very unique in some way - they reflected each piece in a way that you just don't see anymore, and rarely saw even back then with other ice dancers,

    Mesmerising. Their split-second timing, co-ordination and fluidity of movement are unequalled, as is their choreography, a continual evolution of exquisitely lovely shapes and moves. They project intensity of emotion and spirituality, making them the most watchable ice dancers of all time.

    Très bonne adresse et application sur des postures très bien contrôlées. Beaucoup de prises de risques surmontées. Tout est lié posément. Il y a beaucoup de recherche dans cette chorégraphie où tout s’ enchaîne en douceur. Les deux danseurs sont en bonne entente et se parlent et se répondent discrètement. Ce dialogue dans le dialogue chorégraphique témoigne d’une attention à l’autre de tous les instants. Ce sont des personnes qui ont un physique de leur époque. J’ai l’impression que les patineurs sont plus élancés, plus grands, aujourd’hui. Peut-être que cela tient des costumes. Très belle prestation 😊🌹🌹🌹✅✌🏻
