My all-time favourite is Meryl and Charlie's Bollywood OD from 2010
Such a masterpiece! They should've won the OD section in Vancouver.

And then in no particular order:
Anissina/Peizerat 2002 OD
Kerr/Kerr 2008 OD
Kerr/Kerr 2010 OD
Samuelson/Bates 2010 OD
Davis/White 2013 SD

In general, the national/folk themes were excellent times for ODs. So many brilliant dances.

Thanks so much for the link! Wow-I didn't even realize the Charleston was a OSP. Their Charleston is fantastic.

While they never skated it perfectly, one of my favorite OD's is Charlie and Meryl's Charleston.
