While I admire their ability, some of their elements seem more akin to pair skating than ice dance.Well that tango was certainly very busy, but I'm not sure how much of a connection between themselves was there. It was like they are still in the "we're getting all these steps down" to work on the connection yet. A tango without tension.
On the plus side, they're really put in a lot of work in the off season. I see a new commitment from them. They're really gunning for Russia #1 and it is already paying off for them. Beating H/D here is a HUGE deal.
