Thanks very much for uploading Meryl and Charlie's CD! I'm loving it! I think they did a great job here! Good luck in OD and FD!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I couldn't get this on Ice Network (said I was blacked out, although I don't know why) and they were not able to fix it. Anyway your posting allowed me to watch this for the first time today, and that is why I say Thank You. Absolutely love Meryl and Charlie.

Fantastic. But sorry, I continue to think that Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are from a different planet. And I'm not Canadian, but Italian

And thus marked the beginning of Fierce Meryl.

I like the ponytail on Charlie. Beautiful dancing.

I am a roller skating judge and love the way Meryl and Charlie snapped the scissors and held the swing leading into the dance's start-over for a full beat. If you want to see a fine rendition of the Paso Doble performed by roller skaters, check out Swantje and Axel, the 1996-97 world roller dance champions from Germany. The team executed a stunning rendition of the Viennesse Waltz, which is also on Youtube.

Meryl looks amazing here. Usually she has very plain CD dresses, but I am loving both of their looks here.

You're not reading SkateItalians post right - you don't agree with him at all because he thought Meryl and Charlie are amazing technicians

As a former World Champion Roller Dance Champion, I have watched this team and have enjoyed the Creative Dance and Free Dance. After watching this compulsory, I have to totally agree with skateitalian. I am amazed how sloppy their chases are executed and neither member of the team crosses correctly. These are basic dance steps that should be executed with no error.

As a former champion roller skater and now a judge, I am sometimes taken aback by the lack of tight footwork by ice dancers: wide cross rolls, not stepping forward from behind the heel, not completing a full stroke after one foot turns, body leaning forward instead of erect and over the skate. Not here! Except for what look's like a double lean from Charlie when he steps foward to enter the X-rolls, this team are amazing technicians. They are a joy to watch!
