Mass Bolero stars hundreds of people from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and was made in the spring of 2014 in tribute to Torvill and Dean marking 30 years since their Olympic triumph in Sarajevo.

This is November 2023. I am a german citizen living in the Caribbean since the 90'ies. I recall this most unique performance from 1984. This was a labour of love , art and perfection. But what a great performance this is from wonderful people honoring Torvill and Dean in such a beautiful and breathtaking way, how better could someone pay respect living legends that have touched us so much with this magnificent Bolero , soon 40 years ago

I just found this. It is the sort of things which makes me love the British people. Emotion, humour and pride.

I heard more recently that Nottingham collected a sizeable lump sum to fund Jayne and Chris in their bid to win this Olympic medal. This entire community won the gold that year. And you gave a lasting gift to the world. That performance is legend. I will always watch it from time to time until the day I die. I cannot bear to watch it too often because I have to brace for something so exsquisite that it never fails to make me weep.

I, too, found myself teary-eyed when it popped up just now and I saw just part of it for at least the 30th time. It moved me to share it with a stranger on the train. She didn’t speak my language, but I know the dance will transcend such barriers.

I will always come back to this video to watch it in tears. You have no idea what a pivotal moment it was for me to have seen Torvill's and Dean's original performance that lost day, so long ago. I realized even before the judges perfect scores went up on the board that I had witnessed perfection, and that perfection in art is possible.

I cried when they won Gold, I cried again when I saw this amazing tribute to an amazing couple. We are so proud of them and so very glad the Council sponsored them all those years ago. They have repaid it a thousand times over. Well done Nottingham. I am proud to have lived there.

What a fantastic video. I cried! The dancers all oozed with humanity, and there was something about celebrating individuality as a whole, inclusive society which was profoundly moving. If only people could keep images of this in their heads when they go to voting booths at election times.The more we allow others to flourish, in all their different ways, so do we flourish as loving people. Well done, Fiona Buffini!
