Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here is a video of Elena dancing to Sia's "Music." Video directed by Sergei Polunin.

Just remembered that Gracie Gold was featured skating in an Ann Wilson music video earlier this year:

Ann Wilson Debuts 'Tender Heart' Video ft. Olympic Skater Gracie Gold

Ann Wilson of Heart premiered a new video for her song "Tender Heart," featuring American figure skater and Olympian Gracie Gold.

Gracie's statement:

When my mom heard I was given the opportunity to partner with Ann Wilson on her new single, she immediately started “fan-girling.” I’ve only seen her get this excited for two celebrities in my life.
When your entire life’s dream is to compete in the Olympic games it seems almost unfathomable to be able to know what opportunities will come next. It is experiences like creating this music video with Ann that inspire me both as a performer and as an athlete. This is the first time that I have performed in a music video and I feel so honored that Ann invited me to go with her on this artistic journey.
The musical part of skating is so immensely crucial to all of our performances, be it competitive or for a show. I only met Ann recently when she called me to participate in this project. I almost never get to talk through the choreographic process with the musical artist and this made it so much more special. Developing my program with her made it so much more thrilling to perform.
I’m so happy with the way the video turned out and I’m hoping our paths cross again soon!!!]/quote]

I am at Elena applying mascara in a moving vehicle. Eek!
She does look gorgeous on that ice and she still moves so well. I wonder whether they had a wedding dance? That could be something to see.

A moronic question: but why couldn't she paint/glue her boots to look white/clean?

I have observed the same for years. She never paints her boots. She does tape up old ones though.

The first half is so darkly lit but it brightens up in every respect when she dons skates at the halfway mark...especially the last minute or so, filmed outdoors, skating out of the cave onto open ice, surrounded by mountains. It’s her Brian Boitano Moment!
