I would go to that

On the landing page, I can’t get the video to play. I hope they would do Let’s face the music and dance.

I hope they're going to coach and choreograph and mentor for as long as they want to, and aren't leaving skating entirely

Presumably they'll still be involved with 'Dancing on Ice'.

Boo, I’ll be in the UK for 3 weeks but not until July. :-(

I think I read somewhere that they were reluctant to come back for the current season because the show is so much work, especially behind the scenes. So I guess we'll see if they plan to continue with that (in non-skating roles presumably).

T&D's 'farewell' tour 30 years ago was my first live skating experience.

Good to have a tour back in the UK, and I hope the wider cast includes some current skaters or at least isn't just DOI 'celebs'.

A few retrospectives in the British press today for the 40th anniversary, including this dramatically titled article from the Beeb: Torvill, Dean and the death of romance

That's why they ended the original series in 2014. At that time, they were doing almost all the choreography.

When they brought the show back in 2018, they changed their roles significantly and scaled back their involvement in production. I guess there is still a lot of work on their end. Too bad, it's still a fun show.

Yeah, respect for T&D and all, but given the ticket prices are kinda high, I'm waiting for a bit more info on what I'd actually be getting!

 

[Wyliefan]

I think they changed the title after you posted it, @Belsornia. But good piece! I watched the Olympic video again; it still gives goosebumps.

 

[FSWer]

Sounds like they're retiring.

Came across a couple videos of them the other day, one where they were in Sarajevo a couple days ago, on the exact same spot of the arena where they started Bolero for the Olympics. Building had been reconstructed a bit, but it was the same space and that was cool and I just came across this video. This just makes me wanna go to the UK next year and see them

And I still stand by my decision in 1994 they should’ve been in first place with this performance at the Olympics.

I do prefer when ice dancing was just that, classic ice dancing, and not so much of what is become today …. Circus on ice

I was so pleased when the shibs did let’s face the music and dance about 12 years ago or so
