Fred's, (Used to be Barb's), Board

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.

Jackie Wong has started going back to some favourite programs from the "noughts" (2000-2009) - here are some he posted today:

• Shen & Zhao FS at 2003 Worlds: https://youtu.be/5cz6r2XE8N0 - I was there and could not believe how she pulled this off; at practice earlier she was barely able to walk!
• Jeff Buttle "Samson & Delilah" long program at 2003 Skate Canada: https://youtu.be/e-Ofgs_DPjQ
• Tessa & Scott's free dance at 2009 Worlds: https://youtu.be/oHJzO4iJ1y4

More suggestions from Jackie Wong:

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:
