Missing

[poolrattie]

The judges never appreciated their talent..I think they finally obtained second in a major competition... all of us real skating fans much prefer the passion of the Dushenays to the so called cleaner lines...of Torvill and Dean. Those were the days of excellent skating from the Russians ( two pairs) and the Dushenays and the fans loved it..nothing like the insipid routines of today.

[Cantil1]

Dean choreographed their amazing routines for yrs, bringing the Duchesnays to prominence. Torvill and Dean were world champs 4 times & Olympic champs, because with their ground-breaking choreography T&D were streets ahead of the competition technically. The Duchesnays weren't. Their Russian rivals had the edge in basic skating skills. So they only won ONE World Champ. and that in a year when the Russians were under a cloud after a drugs scandal. But they interpreted dance drama with great style

[Lariov]

Uno de esos programas simplemente majestuosos, inteligentemente diseñados para impactar al público sobre todo, me encantó! simplemente magnífico!

[zeSabs]

there is another CD with that music called "incantation"

[shadowmia22]

impressively fast, high-energy throughout

[ja3399]

Emotional tribute. T&D skated to this  music and theme this for years. A worthy and heartfelt subject, translated.

[memuysexyfosho]

OMFG, this made me cry, the music is really touching, and this is dance in the sport of skating, this is what ic e dance SHOULD BE. they were amazing, just like stephanie rosenthal and her single free skate, wow just amazing and magical

[ja3399]

@memuysexyfosho Yes, I agree totally with your comment. A special and magical skate, something to be remembered for all time. There is nothing like this now in ice dancing, as the new rules, which I do not like, call for other things.

[Cassandraberry]

What precision. They should have been World Campions over and over. The only standard still to beat - even after all these years this performance gives me the shivers...

[TheBwads]

Great to see this again, one of my favourite ice dance routines, I never get fed up of watching it!

[HuzseKirosina]

Я покорена красотой этого танца и очарована музыкой.Всё вместе завораживает!!!

В своё время они были лучшими,но их постоянно отодвигали на вторые места,это несправедливо!!! В моём сознании-это лучший танец за всю историю!!! И ещё,хотелось бы узнать,кому принадлежит музыка,звучащая во второй части выступления?

[flubberwinkle]

@HuzseKirosina

If I understand corectly from google translate...

Luckily, fellow youtuber "tedsler" answered this a few comments back:

Second half of the program at least is by "inti illimani" the track I found is called 'sikuriadas" and comes from the album "Lejania"

[HuzseKirosina]

@flubberwinkle

Thank you very much!

[flint603]

@HuzseKirosina Танец действительно великолепный-один из шедевров.Музыка-Sikuriadas.В этом сезоне её использует в ПП Самуэль Контести.Что касается отодвиганий,то их не было.В технике они безусловно проигрывали Климовой-Пономаренко.

[igorsinyutin]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[signorinakitty]

con una scelta di musiche non sempre facili hanno dimostrato di non aver paura di risultare impopolari ed hanno vinto, non si può e non si deve tarpare le ali all'arte!!!!

[jamesfox2002]

The first music portion is Dolencias.

[flubberwinkle]

@jamesfox2002 Thanks!

[skatingfancanada]

the music is dolencias

[skatingfancanada]

the music for the first part is called Dolencias

[flubberwinkle]

@skatingfancanada Thanks!

[157nut]

I watch it for the first time. It's so much better from nowaday's skating.

Great, perfect performance.

[fanceepantsee]

is this version available anywhere?

[fanceepantsee]

They were far above any other ice dancers and were never appreciated by the judges but definitely by the audience! This is my favourite above Bolero (which I did really like). They should have won World's and Olympics but of course it was the Russians who (won?)

[marcbastian]

I saw this performance for the first time live 20 years ago. I moved to tears then, and the emotions still run raw today. It is my favourite ice-dance routine alongside Bolero... of all time. It should have been the Gold, but the crowd and fans that day knew who the real winners were.

[fanceepantsee]

Same as when Shae Lynne Bourne and Victor Kratz skated their Irish dance! Should have won gold and world's too...Russians won everything back then

[marcbastian]

I saw this performance live for the first time 20 years ago... it moved me to tears then and still brings out raw emotion to this day. Alongside Bolero, the best 2 ice-dance routines ever. Should have been the Gold medal. but there you go. The crowd and fans know who the real winners were that night.

[ShortySOM]

This definitely has the stamp of Christopher Dean on it. Breathtaking!!!!

[fourwheeledlady]

Oh my god, this has just made me cry, again, as it did all those years ago. I ask people (not into skating) if they remember the Duchesneys and what I called the 'Tick Tock' programme.....now i have found a decent copy on YouTube I can't wait to show it.......this was their best and I was lucky enough to see them skate it live at Richmond Ice Rink. Thank you so much for this posting.

[faeryquene]

I wish they had used this at the Olympics instead of "West Side Story" which just was not in the same class as this.

[tippitytop1]

Beautiful Perfection

[cris8556]

restate sempre i migliori in assoluto, volevate cambiare il pattinaggio ....non ve l' hanno permesso, peccato!!!!!!!!!

[leshijka]

This dance is the one of the biggest impression from my childhood... It seems to me that they are flying, but not skating!!!

[berengereful]

wonderful , powerful

[riesbergen]

Me too, I was moved to tears, when I saw this then.

And now again. What a unbelievable eperience to feel, thge music, the icedance, wooooooooooow

[riesbergen]

I share your descition. I saw this on Tv then.

I was also moved to tears. So unbelievable and unknown for those years in skating. Wonderful. I sought and found on your channel!!

[PyramidHead2000]

someone PLEASE tell me the name of this music, it's beautiful!

Love ice skating, and this is a wonderful tribute to those who went missing

[libralady1010]

Actually his shirt is torn before they even start skating. I don't think they would take a risk like that - and they were risk takers-but not with blades and costumes. He could've lost his balance, they both could have been seriously hurt. It makes a good story but think how many times they performed this before Worlds'. Not to take anything away from it. Having lived in S.America I can tell you this dance embodies exactly what WAS going on down there in certain countries-not all but a few.

[natilyboo]

Aha, I did not realize that....And you have a point there...

I´m from Sudamerica, exactly from Peru and I can assure you, that there´s even more than what they showed in their presentation. Our countries are full with sad memories, dead and terrorism...but also with joy for life, enchantment and gently people =)

[libralady1010]

@libralady1010 If you watch the 1990 Europeans held in Leningrad-now St. Petersburg-that year his-Paul's- shirt was exactly the same, torn in the same place on the right sleeve. With such a perfectionist and genius like Christopher Dean helping/coaching them, there wouldn't have been an accident like that. The shirt was made that way

[natilyboo]

Did you realized, that Isabelle's blades from the shoes actually cut off a piece of Paul's shirt? O.O amazing piece of work, absolutely perfect!!!

[heyheyheylolita]

Yes this is amazing but i prefer 100 times more the torvill and dean performance to this. I think you feel more the haunting and missing vibe with them.

[TUMuenchen]

Absolutely! It is only the program it self, Dean's choreography, that is to watch here.

[Francesca13674]

Though I'm Russian I'm a passionate fan of this couple. This is real dancing, NOT ACROBATICS OR JUST A SET OF ELEMENTS WE HAVE NOW WITJH TH4eNEW SYSTEM

[TheAnaraneKitty]

oh, wow. the music is awesome.

[sof341]

Dean fue el coreografo de este programa ? como lo hizo el nunca estuvo en peru, soy de peru y este video me emociona ! quienes fueron los creadores de esta hermosa coreografia ?

[nolaughingmatter]

Now that is innovative skating! Great charisma.

[jingsheng76]

Does anyone know what the music pieces are for this?

[tedsler]

Second half of the program at least is by "inti illimani" the track I found is called 'sikuriadas" and comes from the album "Lejania"

I think I found it by chance on a web site a while back and searched it on Limewire and found different version of it. Not sure about the rest of the program, but it is a start at least :))

[flubberwinkle]

@tedsler: thanks for the info.

The music is beautiful and I was wondering the same thing as user jingsheng76

[tuktukskagal]

I saw this live.Unbelievably good;and they brought the crowd to their feet.Brilliant!

Thanks for this.
