The way, tender and resolute, he offers his hand to Tessa at the end of training to invite her joining him to the centre of the rink and greeting toghter the audience says it all. I remember the words pronounced by a well-known commentator many years ago after have watched Goordeeva and Grinkov skating: "They can communicate with each other with tenderness and respect". Those words suit perfectly Tessa and Scott
Ele Pa I think their Carmen has to be one of the top programs of all time. It is ahead of its time. It is ahead of ISU time. It carrys none of the cotton candy fluff or the superficiality. It gives the fans a raw, unvarnished Carmen and shows her for what she was supposed to be. The more I watch this dance, the more I appreciate how Tessa and Scott presented their interpretation and told the story their own way back in 2012. I don't think any other ice dance skating team can handle this dance. This program is totally underappreciated.
You can see the contrast between their Marina-era choreography, where they stop dancing to strike a pose with lifts like 4:50 and 10:30 that have awkward entrances and exits, and their M-F/P era choreography where the transitions into the lifts always blend in so well with the music, like that famous Moulin Rogue lift where she stands on his legs.
This wasn’t choreographed by Marina. It was choreographed by someone else whose name eludes me now. That first lift was awkward- they changed it towards the end of the season. Many people didn’t think the second example was awkward. Different for sure though. But that was their intention since they used some lesser known portions of Carmen. They didn’t want to be the same as everyone else’s. One commenter said, you may not think all the moves are pretty, but they relate well to the storyline and characters.
Actually, she does more than stroke his back. You can't see it here but she stroked his butt too. You can see it more clearly at the world's competition. They did a great job there so it's worth checking out!
He does that and there is no acknowledgment whatsoever about it between them as they continue to skate the rest of the program. I know, business partners.
The cheek of the other couple to get in the way during another teams practice time and then the gall to not stop, apologise and get the fuck out the way but to ignore the team and continue to skate out their performance during someone else's alloted practice time is so rude, shameful to be honest.
the fact he can stop in the middle of the face straddle lift and plunk her down is insane. The control he has...

This is just amazing. i love watching practice footage. Thanks for uploading
0:14 when she stroke his back, he closed his eyes! Shivers!

Me too! Practice is more entertaining for me than competition.
So superb well performed the best of the best so smoothly done love this duo Tessa V and Scott M
This is one of the best videos from Moscow; hundred shades of one 'Carmen'.
So, are we not going to talk about the fact he kissed her at 1:46 ?
He does that and there is no acknowledgment whatsoever about it between them as they continue to skate the rest of the program. I know, business partners.
@@wilhelmina8843 actually if you watch it frame by frame he didn't :)
@@wilhelmina8843 He does this as well during their performance in the Cup of Russia tournament
For those wondering, it was part of the choreography for a short time but was later taken out.
Thank you so much for recording and sharing BTW!

Gorgeous looking pair 🤩💕🌹!
Шикарные!
Burning hot chemistry in this performance.
4:35 i think i actually like it better without the music.
So beautiful 💞💞
1:44 I wish they would have kept this kissing spin in. 1:25 Nice twizzles
12:25 awwww
is it common to thank your coach like that in the end?
They are professionals so I guess that’s just something you do
I was hoping someone else would know why they did that at the end.
Always. Doesn't matter if you're a pro or not.
