Choreographer Sergei Plishkin explained what Olympic ice dance champions Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron brought to figure skating.
On Sunday, Papadakis and Cizeron put in an exhibition performance at the European Championships. In 2022, French ice dancers won gold at the Beijing Olympics. The last time they started was at the victorious 2022 World Championships in Montpellier.
— Did you think that after Papadakis and Cizeron’s fashionable dance, everyone would rush to wave their arms on the ice? So some rushed, but failed. Luna Hendricks is trying this season, although I think it would be better if she didn’t. For such a dance, you have to spend a lot of time in the room.
In general, I would like to say words of gratitude for the fact that Gabriela and Guillaume have brought this style to our sport. We combined a modern style on the floor with glides. But this couple’s performance wasn’t just modern. The programs were different. In terms of emotional content and musical content. Was it similar? Well, we can say about Picasso: he gave the same thing throughout his career as an artist. And it’s the handwriting, the style. It’s just that for figure skaters, the hand is their own body, ”quotes RT Plishkin.
