Virtue and Moir 25: Road to home

According to the My Sergei book, Tatiana Tarasova choreographed this West Side Story program for them in the summer of 1991 (it's one of my all-time favorite G&G programs). AFAIK, Zoueva didn't work with them in their early pro years (1991-92). ETA: G&G's "Pas de Deux" from The Nutcracker Suite was also during this period.

yeah i dont think ill put the nutcracker because zoueva didnt choreograph their v/m's ex (IIRC it was suzanne right?)

Thanks for that! "Larry" predicted the Olympic podium exactly right, hah. They make reference to a ballet teacher... I wonder if it's Jennifer Swan.

Haha. Yes Larry did! They said "our" ballet teacher and I got the impression that it might be an instructor they both took lessons with in Canton (maybe the Ukrainian teacher Scott talked about in the Russian fan vid?) It was a great interview - I love how Tessa answers questions in such careful, precise detail and Scott is so direct and straightforward in a good-natured way.

i love how they are so keen on using minimalist costumes whenever they can. v/m are the type of team that never overdo it.

imo they had the best od that season (well at least out of the top three teams since their flamenco is the least culturally appropriative)

im so glad they decided to go with flamenco and not aboriginal dance like they said in their book

It is so crazy to believe it has been 3 years! It seems closer and yet further away at the same time. I am so grateful I was able to attend both the Olympic OD and Freedance- and spending the extra money to upgrade to such amazing seats for the free is one of the best things I ever did. I will never forget seeing Olympic Mahler up close. Worth every single penny.

Lol the video is upside down. Thanks for posting it. Also I wonder why the third place team weren't there.

Thanks for those videos, pani! So beautiful.

Since we're talking about the Olympics... they didn't do an encore in the gala, right? I have never seen one, but I can't understand how that could be...

[flowerpower]

^
I think you're right...at least I don't remember seeing one either. Maybe none of the winners did?

A throwback, but I just love this interview so much! So in depth and personal. It almost felt like I was watching one of their counselling sessions. I hope they do something similar again.

Very interesting video, I've never seen that before! Thank you.

Also, thanks to the person who posted Jian Ghomeshi's interview with Tessa and Scott. One of my favourites. I enjoy Ghomeshi's interviews, they're always in-depth. He did a good one with Leonard Cohen, and many others.

Guys, if someone will watch 4CC on CBC today, tell please, if commentators will have new about Tessa and W-P

I'm watching it right now, but it's just making me upset so I think I need to turn it off. D/W are skating right now and they haven't said anything about Tessa and Scott yet really.

[pani]

Please, wait untill Tessa and Scott will skate - maybe they will give some information.

Ok so they just showed Tessa and Scott. They didn't talk during the performance before the stop. When they did stop, Tracey explained how we saw something similar two years ago and she said Scott was willing Tessa to go on after the stop, she also said Scott had every intention to go on so it was something with Tessa. All three (Tracey, Brenda, and Kurt) seemed confused and surprised and they called it bizarre (kept asking what happened and what now). Kurt questioned the rule about not having a deduction with a stop and called it "unusual rule." They felt Tessa and Scott were on fire before the stop and it was a wonderful start. They also said after Tessa and Scott continued with the program they never stopped talking and it looked like Scott was encouraging Tessa till the end.

Probably missed some things, but that's the gist.

Thanks! So maybe they did comments "live". I had hope they will explane something to us. But OK.
Tessa and Scott talking during perfomance? They usually do this i think

Just read in PJ twitter.

I kow that W/P will be there for sure - and am assuming that Tessa will be well enough by then too! Fingers Xd

So i thought they will monitoring W-P, but now its look they will be at WCh on 100%. Look werid to me, but if she is healthy i am happy for them.
And look, like they didnt know nothing about Tessa.

After the last FD performance they said Tessa and Scott did not talk with the media immediately after the FD because they were obviously upset, but they played a clip of them at the PC (they both looked so upset); Tessa said she just had some cramping in her legs and Scott said that he didn't really remember what was going through their heads when it happened because when something like that happens you have to act fast.
