^ There was an article on a local newspaper saying it was choreographed by the Italian ballerina Chiara Tanesini. She apparently used to dance in Bejart's company as well as at the Paris Opera and the Stuttgart ballet.

Chopin was most probably choreographed for Stéphane's show by Salome Brunner? Led Zeppelin I don't know.

Thank you. I love the Chopin program too. Her musicality in that program is just :swoon: Since I love her body lines as well as her stroking. I'd LOVE to see one more program which have Bejarl moments during her break.
 
Carolina featured in the new music video to "NËI" by Ganes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obCNrNQ7XRE

From her Facebook page: "It's an honor for me to unveil the "Nei" music video, a very special cooperation between Ganes and I. With the artists I share, among other things, the love for our homeland and the ladin mothertongue, in which the track is sung. It's been very exciting to convey on ice the magic of such a beautiful song!"

From the official description below the video:
Nëi means snow. A glimmering world, arising from dark bass tones. Airy, breezy voices and violins tell us about death. Poetic and affectionate. Within this magic, the dancer pirouettes, tender, but powerful. She makes snowflakes dance on ice, and pictures of the sounds become alive.

When recording the song “Nëi", the three musicians of GANES immediately thought of a Ballerina. Of a dance accompanying this delicate melody, gentle, graceful, clear as a crystal. CAROLINA KOSTNER, the Italian ice skating world champion, grew up in the valley next to the home of Elisabeth and Marlene Schuen and their cousin Maria Moling. They speak the same mother tongue – Ladin. And they share a very rare experience: the feeling of a big world, boxed in a small world. “Nëi“ is a very special, intense cooperation between four Ladin artists who left their home to explore the world, but still carry a part of it in their hearts.

The clip is directed by South-Tyrolean Grimme-Award-Winner Andreas Pichler - Choreography by Chiara Tanesini.

LOVE the program but possibly the most garish costumes I have ever seen, and thats taking in consideration all the ice dancers costumes form the Torino Olympics.

For me is a shame, that costume took away 50% of the magic for me. :(
 
No one looks as stunning in a catsuit as Carolina. The Meditation program looks beautiful and would be perfect for her.
 
For those who have missed it in the "Ice Legends" thread, here are Carolina's performances from Friday's show in Geneva. I can't believe how much she has improved! Her movements are so balletic and even bigger than they used to be. The piano piece is :saint: and I do hope she keeps this dress for other occasions.

Debussy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD20XKbrGeg
Bolero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xry3ziBEIQo (probably the best I have seen her perform this program, including a perfect 3flip!)
Le Poeme with Stephane, Mao and other skaters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug16U97hfYg

OMGGGGGGGGG

Italy now has civil unions but Id like to take Caro in my hand for marriage....

Wowza she has the potential to be the queen of PCS SCORES! FABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB presentation... and combined with her speed and power she should RULE PCS the next 2 years.

Ashley, Medev and Caro should be the top 3 in PCS

NOW thats a figure skating dress in the Debussy piece. THIS IS MY FAV type of figure skating dress.... its so mature and sophisticated. The Bolero dress so sophisticated as well

Her, Ashley, Alissa, and Kiira (honorable mention to Mirai) of my FAVORITE dressed performers.

If Caro makes the 18 Oly team that would be 4 consecutive Olys for a female skater right? Who else has been to 4 or 5 consecutive Olys? Anyone?

Not sure why you are looking forward to Carolina getting more ridiculous PCS scores when she flops on the ice and pops jumps like she did at Worlds in 2014. Hopefully the judges are now focused on the new girls and will continue to reward consistency and not reputation.
 
Consistency in of itself shouldn't automatically equate to better PCS. Reputation shouldn't either, but it's figure skating. Though, Program Component Scores all around are pretty sky high these days for the top skaters the judges like for the most part and there's not much to make Caro have a buffer over them there unless they start decreasing the scores the top Worlds ladies have been getting.
