Torvill and Dean 1983 Rock n Roll OSP

[@thecheshirecrafter4522]

They were fearless! How did they have the strength in their legs to complete that third circuit, then pull off that acrobatic finish? Totally amazing.

[@gladysread3054]

Oh, to be 20 again…

[@denisej4813]

The Original Set Pattern dance, with its requirement to complete three identical circuits in a specific dance style, was a real test of creativity, stamina and technique. I really don't like the modern Rhythm Dance, which seems to be just a mini free-dance, incorporating a mash-up of styles. Just my opinion! This performance with all its twists, turns and stresses on limbs is particularly astonishing when you remember that Jayne had sustained a nasty shoulder injury when falling during preparation for the European Championships in January 1983, meaning that they had to sit out the European's and it was touch and go whether she would be fit and ready for the Worlds a few weeks later.

[@catcollector6195]

And they make it look like they could whip off another triple set!

[@evelynrichardt4903]

Bis heute das beste Eistanzpaar aller Zeiten!!!

[@michellemoffett9458]

Ahhhhmazinggg! Such unique moves, high energy, in step perfectly together. There will NEVER be another skating couple like this!

[@sabineb3950]

Du hast so recht.🥰🌹

[@Galastel]

So true. And kinda sad: 30 years, and not one pair can surpass them. I wasn't even born when Torvill and Dean went into professional events. I want to see their equals on ice. I want to see the world of ice dancing moving forwards, not trying to conquer a peak that had been taken 30 years ago. I love Torvill and Dean. I wish there was a pair like them nowadays.

[@rosie94204]

The French pair of Pand C are very outstanding as in they bring that same synergy and connection that bit extra special. T and D are legendary 💜💜

[@chubbyflower305]

There are WAY too many restrictions on artistry now to allow routines like Barnum, Bolero, the Paso Doble, or even this, be surpassed.

[@phillycatlady]

chubbyflower what are the restrictions?

[@DanieXJ]

@@phillycatlady There's all sorts of stuff they couldn't do these days. A lot of their air work would be penalized (in Barnum when he flips her over his back at the end, or when her head is near the ice and he's, I don't know what the move is called, but he's whipping her around by her lower body. Don't think that's allowed in competition anymore). Even how they started Bolero and ended Paso Doble (their bodies on the ice) will get a deduction. So... while Torville and Dean will always be the best on multiple levels, ice dancing is a totally different sport these days too. Just look at their Bolero Olympics win vs their 94 Lillehammer skate/score... 🤦‍♀️

[@rachelsirett8809]

I was 11 in 1983 ,I watched them avidly loved them. I am a 72 born baby

[@gk891]

The difficulty they could handle is just astonishing. Absolute first-rate skating.

[@brianupton2520]

Most would have trouble on a dance floor let alone on blades. The Greatest Ever.

[@didderjade]

Also, I love the ending: Look how awesome we are! Here's a flip! And we're so awesome, we're giving you ANOTHER FLIP! WHOO!

[@barbarawoodhouse5514]

Their performances are beyond belief. Beautiful, enduring, just magical.

[@nancyjoplin633]

They are 2 of the best ice dancers I’ve ever seen. They had a beauty that is not seen these days. It’s now all athletics not grace and style.

[@margittkennedy9735]

The last couple, maybe the only couple to put the dance into ice dancing! Wow!

[@jameslong-d3u]

Choreography is brilliant

[@flipsiderainbow]

Ballroom dancing on ice skates, mind blown. I love watching these two. They move like one person breathtakingly beautiful.

[@catcollector6195]

Add much as I love Bolero, i think I love this even more. It's just so darn fun.

[@cogidubnus1953]

Quite simply in a class of their own...

[@didderjade]

I love how the crowd eats this routine up. They're repeating the same moves three times, for pete's sake, but the cheers never stop.

[@Mrsjuniify]

Rock and Roll has never looked so spectacular and attractive ; this couple definitely are a pleasure to watch. They have a hypnotic effect ! Supple , tidy moves and very elegant !

[@Liesl-Yvette]

Ahhhh, the good old OSP! three times around and the third as good as the first! That really showed what you were made of! God their legs must have been burning! So, so good.

[@denisej4813]

Also, Jayne had sustained a nasty shoulder injury a couple of months earlier while they were working on new moves to add to their Barnum free dance (and they missed the European championship as a result). All the twisty movements in the Rock & Roll OSP must have been very uncomfortable for Jayne, yet her expression never gave anything away.

[@karenf1001]

[@ukbubbsbear]

Considering this was an OSP with all the rules about not having lifts etc, this was amazing... Better even than the rock 'n roll free dance that Grischuk and Platov won the Olympics with. Love it.

[@MsSlucyna]

Definitely

[@zb727]

Senkron ritim mükemmel uyum sanki herkes yapabilir hissi vermeleri dansın buz üstünde kusursuzluk hali

[@janyshendrickson3833]

Great is great no matter the year! Side note: I actually miss the old Ice Dance competition format. I enjoyed the Compulsory Dances. It was the best and clearest format to identify the skill level of each team, they all had to skate to the same steps, use the same holds and perform to the same ISU pieces of music. The Original Set Pattern was a more creative format to identify the skill level of each team. They all skated to an ISU chosen rhythm but it was their choice of steps and holds. And the Free Dance was of course the best combination of skill and creative presentation. The old format clearly exposed individual team's degree of proficiency with the more skilled (generally speaking, politics notwithstanding) rising to the top. IMO

[@kwiknkleen]

I have never seen this routine. Thanks for posting. Brilliant as ever.

[@maryleone2023]

[@scottishthistle7950]

No one has ever or will be better it's like George Best was to football at his best they are truly outstanding beyond compare

[@theresesmith3555]

You expressed my sentiments exactly. They are in a class of their own.

[@didderjade]

It wasn't meant to be a criticism. I meant that the moves they're repeating three times are so original, engaging, and evocative, that the crowd doesn't care they're being repeated.

[@KF-cx8bm]

They are meant to be repeated, that's the rules in the short program, one dance resprayed 3 times

[@gillbullen2080]

Well, the crowd would expect that, because it was one of the rules of the Original Set Pattern event. But they never let it get boring!

Amazing! I've always loved this Rock'n'Roll and their Paso Doble (OSP 83 & 84) as much as Barnum (FD 83) and Bolero (FD 84) as no one has really ever done Original Dances as difficult as these, before or since. And to have to repeat the same pattern and moves exactly three times is incredible - which of course they don't have to do now. Thank you for uploading.

I dont think that is a shame, I think it just a sign how great and special they were. It is not like there arent some great and captivating teams since in their own right like Klimova & Ponomarenko, Virtue & Moir, Anissina & Peizerat, pre marital spat Usova & Zhulin, but they are just that great they still stand out. I find it kind of nice somethings have someone who is the best from long ago, not always someone today or recent for once.

[@christschinwon]

They studied so many types of dance so everything they did was appropriate for the music & so technically they could just through the kitchen sink at it! As for their artistry it was down to their natural chemistry. Fate played the most important part in that. Neither with other partners could have achieved anything like they did!

I just wish there was a name to call this one by. I call their other most signature programs by name- 84 Bolero and Paso Doble, 82 Summertime and Mack and Mabel, and 83 FD Barnum, and 94 the Rhumba and Face the Music and Dance. This one though I am not sure, you cant just say Rock and Roll as it too commonplace, maybe the T&D Rock and Roll. I think this might be my most favorite of theirs of all.

[@MsCatreona]

Paganini Rock and Roll? The music is a R&R adaptation by Andrew Lloyd Webber of a familiar theme by that composer..

[@Luubelaar]

So sad that in 1994, Grishuk and Platov could rip this off, present a sub-standard version of it, and "win" the gold medal.
