Well said!

Thank you for mentioning "the flailing arms" of so many Ice Dancers today. They cannot hold a candle to Torvill and Dean. Please see Carly Bishop's new 2021 videos that make the connection of TND to Astaire and Rogers, their perfection, artistry and chemistry!

I SO agree! The dancers in the Winter Olympics this year were throwing their arms around like windmills. They had none of the perfect timing and synchronization of these two.

@@88cadfael perhaps only wisdom gained through years of experiences will teach them that.

@@88cadfaelVery good said: windmills 👍 exactly , I don’t like that kind of dancing on ice at all. In watching this I don’t feel fine, I‘m getting edgy 😖

I love them but I have to disagree. Virtue and Moir are the best - beyond compare.

@@gweng.9159 I agree, for me too, it’s Tessa and Scott.

Without a doubt!

@@gweng.9159 maybe you're from younger generation. Can't blame that. But to be a legend, they still have to prove that they deserve to be called legend. Torvill and Dean still skate until now and have their own TV Shows. Many skaters turn into coaching and choreographing for other skaters. But to perform with such passion at the age of 63 and 64? You have to wait to see whether Moir and Virtue will have the same passion or they just collect medals. Time will show.

I think Sergei and Ekaterina come very close. They were poetry on ice

They came to Queensland many years ago, and I took my daughter to see them at the Boondall Entertainment Centre. We were spellbound by their perfection - and of course, the "are they in love or is it fake" comments. I think they really loved each other and treasured friends.

How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore

...and never will.

I agree 👍 💯

I saw them dance in Brisbane, way back in the - I think - the 1980s, and they are just as wonderful in person as on video.

Spot on. Please see Carly Bishop's new 2021 videos on TND. They make their connection to Astaire and Rogers! Perfection on Ice.

I read somewhere that they left a legacy to ice dancing when ISU followed their example of ice dancing. I try to see how and what these were.

@@paracontejo how are you doing today my name is Bryan

You're soooo right⛸⛸! I love them, too🎀💝

Awesome

Sydney Peppell amazing how long they’ve been performing!

It also struck me this time, watching this compilation full of complicated liftings, how athletic they both must have been and still are, even in their sixties. Mr Dean, despite his slim bodybuilt, possessed strength and agility. Besides,the ease with which they perform must also be the result of impeccable technique- and experience. That's what I see, but mind I'm not an expert, just admirer.

Of the many things I love about them is how well their body types look together on the ice. It seems with most pairs, the girl is so thin and tiny that she looks like her partner's kid sister. Jayne is all curves, very nice with his straight lines. She is obviously shorter, but they appear to have the same length of leg which I think must help enormously with their synchronization. I am curious about their lifts. I saw more of Chris than I would have expected when they did "Fire and Ice" and he does not look particularly ripped. I don't think I've seen them do a straight arm overhead lift. That's not a complaint, since I don't admire those. I notice when he does lift her, they are very intelligent with the mechanics. For example, they often distribute some of her weight to his legs or shoulders so that his arms won't have all the work.

@@valkyriesardo278 You are mixing ice dancing with pair skating. These are two different disciplines of figure skating. In pair skating the girl is much smaller than the partner. It makes easier to do all those overhead lifts and throws. T&D are ice dancers, not pair skaters. Ice dancers don't do overhead lifts.

@@AndrewNoogoo Only 36 years or 40 years.

Kathleen Reed Must have been great to see :)

Very true 🙂

Its sad to say they probably had more love and respect for each other than alot of married couples..

Please see Carly Bishop's new 2021 videos about Torvill and Dean that make the connection between them and Astaire and Rogers. The chemistry and artistry is spot on.

@@joemachunda You are right. That is why they are still Ice Dancing today!

Where can we see Carly Bishop’s videos?

I cannot and will never be satisfied that they will be gone and have said goodbye, No GOODBYE for me. They will always be there for me. 36 years is not enough. They can still go on and on and on. God bless them now and forever.

How are you doing today my name is Bryan

Siegrid Thomas thanks :)

Carol Kelly thank you

They’re still skating

How can I see them? Any chance?

Here’s their most recent performance together this year (March 2020). It’s likely they will do at least one more next year - maybe two: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7mXd9F9qMCZkXU.html

Don't die on them, please.

Sandra Naylor glad you like x

Fair. I don’t usually use slow motion when I make compilations but I just wanted to give even more time to witness these specific moves on this occasion.

@@andrewtmiles4185 Yeah, it does do that. 🤙
