I watched their performance. Very good! I'm not sure of the qualifying rules for the US Nationals. How many teams qualify from the US Ice Dance Final to US Nationals?

Top 12 teams from the final qualify I believe, plus Nguyen/Kolesnik have their bye.

Browns finished third in Juniors at US Nationals. It was the best performance I have seen from them this season.

Hi all!

I sent a PM out a few days ago regarding the Video Project. If you are interested in doing this team (or anyone else), shoot me a PM! :)

On Ice Perspectives.filmed their FD at Bryant Park- fabulous :love:

:clap::cheer2:As of this date this video has over 5 million views and almost 10 thousand comments, most positive, many many from “non-ice skating fans!!” A lot wondering “how” it was filmed.. one argument insisting it was filmed by a drone...:biggrin: :palmf: I think Jordan is breaking ground for newfans..

The recording of their Bavarian Open RD that I posted to YouTube back in February had less than 500 views by December 6 (the date Cowan posted his video), and now has over 32,000, so some people are certainly seeking out more of them after watching Cowan's OIP.

Hello, I'm a fairly recent fan of the Browns' here. It's great to see all the info on them at this site. They are certainly talented and innovative.

Hello, a fairly. recent fan of the Browns' here. Check out their team instagram, comments and routine on Ice Theater of New York fb page or IG, website and facebook. No I'm not associated with them. They are certainly talented and innovative. Looks like there have been no updates here in a while. On Ice Perspectives IG has some items on them as well. Same with Bryant Park sites. And of course they have a lot of routines on YouTube.

Welcome Reader3, and please share your love of the Browns whenever you can.:)

I am not the most diligent Ice Dance fan, but I do find their approach refreshing and their choreo innovative.

I am happy to say that ever since their JGP debut in 2018, the Browns have been receiving lots of positive coverage/attention in other GoldenSkate threads -- such as the U.S. Ice Dance threads in The Edge (where their new articles and videos sometimes are posted) and the event threads whenever they compete (JGPs, Junior Worlds, U.S. Nationals, etc.).
The Edge also had a separate thread devoted to the On Ice Perspectives video of their Nothing Else Matters FD that went viral on YouTube. (And yes, we are lucky that Jordan has been filming Oona and Gage since the early days of OIP. Digression, but on my personal wish list :pray: is the full version of their RD that Jordan filmed at Wollman Rink in Central Park in late 2020. In the partial version on OIP's Instagram, both the Browns and Jordan once again did an outstanding job.)

This fan thread (the OP and other posts) of course is another good place to see/share links and comments, but I think that it does not fully reflect the sizable GS interest in Oona and Gage. I think it would be fair to say that the Browns currently are the most-discussed U.S. junior dance couple on GS.
(GS members seem to have more to say about the Browns than about Wolfkostin/Chen, who also are liked and respected.)
