2008 OD program - Country Dance

New program for 2008 is country dance. We choose a Russian Gypsy dance.

Maria Klimova has been our chirographer for the last five years however. Maria and Sergi have been out of the country performing in Skating with the Stars in Russia. We asked around and found that Caitlin Mollory a student of Maria and Sergi's - senior team last year - http://www.ice-dance.com/mallory-holdburg/ Caitlin was available and was happy to help with a program. Caitlin give us her music for this year with a new partner. We were so luck. Many have said that this is our best program yet, we hope so.

Lean to Ice Dance DVD

Take a look at the Ice dance DVD that I did. Terri Levine who I skated with in the DVD. We only skated once before this at a dance weekend. Terri was great to work with and lots of fun.

Terri is on the left and Julie Keith my partner and myself are on the right.

It was a great experience. I think we did about 50 patterns of dances for this video, 10 of which were the Dutch Waltz.
