So much time has been spent since 1990, but my impression after more than 30 years is always the same: a unique, touching, impressive moment of pure art! Every time I watch this dance I feel goose bumps

[@AmbrosiaK]

This is still as memorizing today as it was 30 years ago. Just wonderful!

[@AliceSomwhereInWonderland]

This was indeed the Golden Age of Ice dancing. And this unbelievable performance of Duchesnay and Duchesnay, which mesmerized me more than 30 years ago, still does it every time I watch it again. A great couple with a great choreography by Christopher Dean.

[@luckyhale739]

One of the most heart breaking, impressive, beautiful. powerful ever free skates. Gold Medal worthy - well- I think so. It sure is the one I can watch over and over again.

This was the Golden Era of ice dancing for me. Such amazing creativity as more and more couples broke away from traditional ballroom dancing!

I was very young when I watched it, but I can say - I never saw something like this again. It was so perfect, so different, so special. They are still more modern with this dance than the most skaters today.

Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay were the most powerful, ahead of their time ice dancers in the history of the sport. I never get tired of periodically watching their performances. They were the best ever; futuristic! I hope they are coaches or teachers of ice dancing so this now generation can learn from their wisdom. The Duchesnays RULE!

[@joannagaja2661]

Christopher Dean and his brilliant choreography, inspired especially in second part by “Ghost Dance” of C.Bruce rules ...

[@hersenlozeslet]

A truly unforgettable routine, where sport transcends into art and emotion. So many iconic moments from this dance are emblazoned on my memory... the subdued beginning... the intensity building... the spectacular end pose. Apart from the Torvill & Dean Bolero, this is the only ice dance that has made a lasting impression on me. Ever.

[@storrada1]

It's great opinion, Willem. I agree with you from the first to the last word. "...sport transcends into art...". To this sentence can not be anything to add. These are really unique moments in sport. T&D, D&D - greatest memorable couples. All the best for you.

[@joannagaja2661]

It’s because this routine was created by C. Dean :) he made it memorably and transcendent, as their Bolero was, and as all the routines he created before and after, and danced with Jayne :) and he danced this theme too, (in a bit different way, as in the first part of choreography he adapter for Duschesnay) with Jayne of course, you can find it on KZbin ..

[@galileocan]

I was in Halifax at the event that evening. When the Duchenays finished skating, I truly was scared, because the screaming, cheering and clapping was so loud - I really thought the roof was going to cave in. You can't tell from the video, but it was so loud you couldn't even hear someone speak next to you. One of the finest achievements and moments in figure skating history

[@bindi06]

I'm jealous!! I would have loved to see this live, although I did get to see the Duchesnay's skate this on the Tom Collins skating tour at the time. Paul was one of the most mesmerizing male skaters ever....

Always thought it was the perfect proof of Canadian mediocrity that they were rejected by Skate Canada and so they went to skate for France-who presumably were more comfortable with iconoclastic brilliance.

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

I am not generally a jealous person, but speaking as someone who has avidly followed skating for over 50 years, I am jealous of anyone who was there to see the Duchesnays’ performance of Missing that night. I revisit this performance at least yearly. It is my favorite ice dance of all time.

Ich habe das als 14 jähriges Mädchen in Polen im Fernsehen gesehen und ich war so fasziniert. Am nächsten Tag habe ich meine Freundin besucht und das erste, was sie mich gefragt hat: hast du gestern das französische Paar gesehen? Wir waren alle unter so einem Eindruck. Diesen Tanz habe ich nie vergessen, ich wusste heute nicht mehr wie sie hiessen und in welchem Jahr das war. Aber das rote Kleid werde ich nie vergessen. Heute habe ich euch wieder gefunden und es ist immer noch wunderschön😙

I thought they never received what they should. They are the best ever because they were so creative and so brave to tell stories.

[@valkyriesardo278]

Stunning choreography. Dean's work is genius. I watched Torvill and Dean perform Missing and saw mention of the Duchesnay pair skating the number. That brought me here. My mother used to say eat your vegetables before dessert. I never could get that right.

[@DawnDavidson]

Yes! I came here from the mention in the T&D version. I agree that the Duschenay’s performance was less technically perfect than some of T&D’s. They weren’t as perfectly in sync, for instance. But I loved the increased tempo in the Duschenay version, and the passion they displayed, along with the additional lifts (both of these to accommodate various requirements in the amateur competition, I’m sure.) The increasing tempo along with the choreography and the passionate skating really ramps up the sense of anxiety, which I think makes this performance rival the original T&D version. It’s extremely effective in portraying the message. So grateful to be able to watch these performances here on KZbin. Simply stunning. Thank you to this channel for posting these. They are treasures.

На Олимпиаде-1992 они и второе место не заслуживали. Первые за явным преимуществом Климова-Пономаренко, вторые должны были быть Усова-Жулин. Дюшене на Олимпиаде выступили неудачно, но их все равно поставили вторыми.

[@jeanpeuxplus7257]

Entre la prestation et la musique, j'ai encore la chair de poule 31 ans plus tard 💕💕 Les Duchesnay étaient magiques sur la glace et si inventifs. Une vraie chance que l'on puisse encore les apprécier en vidéo 👍

[@joannagaja2661]

Il faut rendre au César ce qu’est a César... ce ne sont pas Duchesnay, c’est Christopher Bruce pour le ballet et ensuite Christopher Dean pour dance sur la glace les vrais inventifs.. C. Dean s’est inspiré de Bruce chorégraphie en utilisant certaines poses et mouvements ainsi que la musique surtout dans la second partie de la routine crée si génialement pour Duchesnay...

[@josieshy2376]

I don't care how many medals of which colour a skater has collected and how many years they've been touring. I just love this passionate, moving performance, it's captivating and touches my heart. The Duchesnays were the perfect skaters for this theme, IMO. They conveyed the emotion, that's why the audience always responded so enthusiastically to their performances. It was a great time for ice dancing, then in the early 90s.

[@lilianaroibu3817]

Extraordinar!!!! Au trecut de atunci 33 de ani dar voi pastra în amintire acest program asa cum voi pastra si boleroul lui Torvil si Dean ca pe cele mai frumoase momente din istoria patinajului artistic! Si acum îmi rasuna în cap melodia fratilor Duchesnay o melodie a Anzilor, salbatica si nestapanita, coregrafia fara egal a lui Dean, în viata mea nu am vazut o coregrafie mai buna decat aceasta! În acelasi timp mi-au ramas în memorie Jayne Torvil si Cristopher Dean cu al lor bolero de neegalat! Aceste 2 perechi mi-au facut o impresie deosebit de puternica care în ciuda trecerii timpului NU LE-AM UITAT NICIODATA, ASA CUM NU ÎTI UITI TINERETEA SI MEREU ÎTI ADUCI AMINTE DE EA! SUNT MOMENTELE CELE MAI BUNE DIN TOT PATINAJUL ARTISTIC PANA ÎN MOMENTUL DE FATA!

[@guskos1887]

it's the most beautiful thing i 've ever seen !!!

[@sapphiregreen8649]

I've been a figure skater in the past...have watched this sport improve over the years on TV ever since (over 20 years now) and to this day I still think these folks were and still are the best ever! Not to take anything away from today's great skaters but Paul and Isabelle where just on a different level. So fluid in their moves, in congruity and continuity with each other while travelling accross the ice with great speed throughout the whole Choreography. You could feel the emotion of their theme coming through Paul and Isabelle like no other, this from the beginning until the end of their routine. They were always pleasant to watch to say the least, even to people unknown to the figure skating world. I really miss them, and their dancing style!

[@storrada1]

I often read that Russian skaters were technically better than Duchesnay. I agree, but...I remember many names of Russians skaters but I don't remember any of their dances. Dance is not a technique but great ability to convey feelings. Besides the Russian danced as if they wanted to save the world with their dance. Duchesnay just danced, with passion, fire and heart. They wanted to tell something the audience and they said. By the way - Mr Paul Duchesnay was (and is) the best-looking skaters of all skaters. He seems to be very humble, pleasant and sincere person. I wish him all the best in his life. Torville & Dean are the best. Duchesnay are right behind them. Then....nothing. Thank you Isabelle and Paul.

[@kirkenes]

Grażyna Leśniak Ice dancing is a sport. If one half of an ice dancing pair skates like a hockey player, this pair should never be on the podium. Period. No matter how inventive their choreography might be or how many feelings they might convey. That said, I love this routine

[@josieshy2376]

And I say yes, IF one half of an ice dancing pair skates like a hockey player, they should not be on the podium. IF. That's not the case here, truely not. I've honestly never seen an ice dancer who would skate like a hockeyer.

Когда на чемпионате Европы 1990 г в Ленинграде зрители в СКК впервые увидели творение Кристофера Дина и брата и сестры Дюшене,то после финальной позы весь зал встал. Это уважение к спортсменам и хореографу. Тогда они стали третьими. А вот спустя месяц в Галифаксе 2 место. И оценки за артистизм подтверждение мастерства и таланта этих четверых. И Мартина Скотницкого тоже. Но оригинал танца в исполнении Джейн и Криса на ЧМ среди профессионалов вызывал восторг зрителей и судей не меньше французов.

Brilliant. For all my gripes about what an unbalanced team they were (Paul clearly a much stronger skater), this program had a good balance of the hard moves. Paul is still doing a greater share of the hard stuff but so many sections of that routine have Isabelle skating and pivoting on one foot. That sequence at the end, where she is on one foot in and out of a lift before going into that final pose: fabulous.

I just really enjoy the storytelling of ice dance.

[@circaaeon6033]

They wanted to use Art and their political freedom to say something about The South American Military Dictatorship (Junta) - lots of people just disappeared, were murdered or were imprisoned for no good reason. They skated with their hearts and that's why it's so compelling. To me, this routine is saying that there is still beauty, culture and innocence in South America and that these people deserve to be remembered ... And I love how she skips like a deer at 1:42

[@bapinorobles]

Most of the disappeared were people under 30; very sad. This is my first time watching this wonderful couple and it brought tears to my eyes.
