General Notes

Description

An ice dance that is a fantasy of flight and fluidity.  Using some hidden means of levitation, the dance consists of Dean performing the classic male role of lifting the female (Torvill) but in this case she is able to fly and all the normal moves of an elegant and airy ice dance are magnified by her ability to defy gravity and float higher and farther in all their various dance moves.

Theme

Life is light and fluid.

Emotional Sum or Sense-of-life

A heightened sense that Life is fantastically unbounded by daily cares. Life is imbued with unlimited potential and ease of movement.
