Virtue & Moir’s 2007 Worlds Free Dance ⛸️

[wanderlustinwonderland18]

“As president of the Scott Moir fan club, I could go on about his innate talent, musicality, passion, drive, commitment, work ethic. Truly, the list is so long cause he is the best in every way.”

“From her ability to move and create brilliant choreography to her athleticism and near perfect technique, she’s the greatest skater I’ve ever seen. Her brilliance is evident in everything she does and she is ruthlessly competitive. Those are some of my favourite traits but they don’t come close to the fire that lit within me when we skated together. Our eyes would meet on the ice and it would take us to another world.”

— Tessa and Scott on each other, Canadian Sports Hall of Fame 2023

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skating their original dance at the 2007 Canadian National Championships and, with a different flower, at the 2007 World Championships. Their music was Luis Bacalov's Assassination Tango.

13 years difference.

Edge quality.

Secure dance holds.

Sensuality.

Projection through the eyes.

They always had IT. They were the chosen ones, the ones with greatness thrust upon them and they exploited it to the very end.

so im kinda new to ice dance, but which team, current or past, do you think has the best and most difficult lifts?

well, VM haha - i love them so much that you can accuse me of being biased, but there are many objective reasons they were the best at this - @macaroni-rascal made a wonderful post about their lifts and what made VM exceptional at them:

and the gifset by @bartowskis she mentions is great too

iconic VM lifts are so numerous that @macaroni-rascal didn't even mention their incredible serpentine lift from Pink Floyd or the one in the Charleston program both just after her first surgery where she rolls down his body and perfectly but blindly puts her hand on his skate, and there are more - their body control and awareness of each other was just unparalleled. as were their skating skills, their strength - it allowed them to do incredibly difficult lifts and make them look easy. and to do them in such a musical way - they were the best

I just rewatched Umbrellas of Cherbourg and-

Virtue and Moir really started their senior careers at 18 and 20 skating to those songs and ended up estranged old friends with completely separate lives, him a small town elite coach and her a city loving influencer...

Life imitates art, doomed from the beginning, etc.

What is life without a platonic soulmate?

“For me, Tessa and Scott’s Vancouver Olympic free dance. That was the moment I fell in love with ice dance. I was like woah, I wanna do that someday but back then, I didn’t think that I would be an ice dancer. That was a program that made me speechless.”
