In dancing we would call that ankle position a ‘sickle’- when you roll outwards and turn your toes inwards.

The position they hit before it, with the front/ free leg crossed over the back and both skates on an outside edge. Coz it’s a LBO-OUTSIDE edge twizzle- I’m assuming that’s the prep for it that they have to be on an outside edge on the twizzling skate. I’ve watched it so many times to figure it out. Something about this particular twizzle (every time they do this one)- and I’m assuming it’s just the way it’s done- not necessarily a VM thing, but their leg positions going into it is always so precise. The first twizzle is a LBO (left, back outside edge) with free foot/leg in cou de pied (cut). It’s like they hit every beat with each arm, head, stroke perfectly that it creates like a echo effect, you simultaneously hear/see/feel each movement echo as they keep going, like dropping a rock in water and watching the rings reverberate out. The same thing happens here with their musicality. There’s this thing in ballet where you are told when doing big jumps, to land with your arms held in the position you had them in the air to make the movement, picture of the position last longer. That arm they added where she strikes in straight up with a jazz hand- perfect! The way they hit every one of those beats in the music. I love that he holds her elbow/upper forearm to drag her backwards-like that’s so specific but perfectly keeping with the tango style but with a contemporary influence. this twizzle sequence is still to this day part of what I picture when I think of the prefect ice dance program (yes, MR is perfect). They (VM) came out and it was like, this is the meaning, the definition of ice dance. (I remember seeing the Shibs, but no one else really left an impression on me). I remember I was watching the SD event live and saw several teams before VM. So I don’t know whether it was purely VM, or the fact that I was really watching ice dance for the first time but inevitably the impressions those programs left on me was ‘this is what ice dance IS’. Ok so I feel like my answer to this is kinda biased on the circumstances surrounding it but without going and watching literally every twizzle sequence ever to pick a new favourite I’m still gonna say it’s this one:īoth of VM’s 2018 olys programs was my first real experience with watching ice dance with the understanding that it is different than pairs and singles (elements, structure, choreography etc). the fact that she never wore it in comp is a crime
