Skating events cancelled? Stuck at home? Some advice, some video to watch...

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

An offering from Robin Cousins whose latest show has been cancelled due to the pandemic.
From Act 1 of my 2019/20 Holiday on Ice production Supernova featuring Wesley Campbell, Peter & Mariyah Gerber, Roxanne Rheault, Jason Pacini & Olga Maceviciene.
The waltz of Earth and Venus as they orbit the Sun, known as 'The Dance of Venus' creates a pentagram in space - mimicking the loops and arcs of a figure skater.
This is the second show on a 3 show day in Hamburg, Germany 2019

Elizabeth do you have an email addie for Ryan? I might have a pile of stuff he could use. I'm trying to get rid of my
large collection of Skating memorabilia and videos and CDs.

How about this one from the 1998 US Stars on Ice Tour - a parody of the Olympic Games & poking fun at figure skating in general called "Fun and Games": https://youtu.be/38Eme_yxg8s

The Canadian tour, of course, did their own version of "Fun and Games" - the video is in three parts:

Twitter continues to deliver suggestions for our skating viewing :)

From Ryan Stevens of Skate Guard blog - Rudy Galindo's Village People program from the 1998 Champions on Ice tour: https://youtu.be/7hmiR8GZIaU

From Jackie Wong - Shae-Lynn & Victor's free dance to a Michael Jackson medley at the 2001-2002 GPF: https://youtu.be/o2pOhFF9UAM

And from The Kurt Files - a couple of performances of Kurt's "Antares" - Kurt performed this program at more than a dozen events, including the full US and Canada Stars on Ice tours and Kurt landed the quad at the TV taping of Canadian SOI, 10 yrs after the 1st.
