Michelle Kwan - Pocahontas (1996)

[@SlayerPrincess]

those were the golden days of figure skating.

[@alicedotkay]

No one makes me cry more than her. Her artistry is just brilliant, she really knows how to perform magically and carry out a story. I feel I'm right there with her!

[@vivianleenet]

She has some of the best artistry of skating. There's something to be said for her smooth skating and grace that far surpasses the heavy jumpers and athleticness nowadays.

[@harveygirl95]

Vivian Lee oh yes no skater today surpasses her on the artistry level

[@carolluketina6519]

Michelle will always be in a class by herself.

[@ladylefteye]

She does more than skate she really puts herself in the characters shoes. Brings the character to life.

[@TinaJordan-x6v]

I Loved Watching Michelle Kwan as a little girl skating, growing up into a wonderful female figure skater; l only wished that she should have won a Olympic Gold medal at the Winter Olympics; she deserved that than anything else.

[@jrewing6836]

The best there ever was ,the best that ever will be. The GOAT.

[@taylorharris1796]

The running across ice at the timing of the music always gets me. So amazing.

[@emmad.176]

Watching this, I can see why she was so popular and successful. She's so graceful and really feels the music, getting into the character.

[@tejasnite]

She sailing so smooth across the ice, and beautiful character, she portrays with her personality and charm and smile, STUNING AND BEAUTIFUL

[@yukiinu5534]

forgot what it was to be mesmerized by great skaters.

[@Lillymu961]

After re-watching the movie today, this performance is a real treat to watch. Michelle Kwan will always be one of the greatest figure skaters because of how beautifully she could tell a story on ice. I don't know if I have seen a skater convey emotion the way she did back then. Her performances are beautiful every single time. ❤ God bless her.

[@eileen4991]

Like someone below says, Michelle left figure skating and its never been the same. We miss her!

[@sweetulip2004]

This just choked me up. I loved watching ice skating as a young girl and Kwan was one of my favorites. Hadn't seen ice skating in quite some time, and felt compelled to look up some old videos. This was PERFECT. God bless you Michelle Kwan!! 💕💕

[@carolluketina6519]

No one like her before or since. Perfection on ice!

[@ladylefteye]

I know me too. I loved watching this as a kid.

[@freshPrincess626]

Now THAT’S some Disney on ice.

[@cayley1022]

Now that’s talent

[@kylo_sten]

This performance was extremely formative for me as a gay 4 year old

[@rashuneknight3939]

I didn't know who she was at first until I saw her in Arthur

[@rubym357]

When Tommy Collins' tour was great! Now skating is crap...

[@inmysoul_TLH]

Ruby Marlowe too many rules and technical things, no room for emotion in most programs :( really sad

[@gingerellacookiecookieguts273]

interesting that an Asian American would portray a native American and native Americans migrated from asian cool

[@sarahwinter9998]

GingerellaCookie Cookieguts nope, not accurate , should make sure you know what your talking about

[@manning3917]

I love love love pocahontas cause she's my favorite Disney Princess and she's also an Indian

[@SecondEvilEx]

Jennifer Manning native American

[@NoName-fc5qd]

She’s not Indian. She’s Native American.

[@sarahmichelle4714]

[@lolenunu3514]

[@stephanielaurent3888]

Is there anything Michelle Kwan can't do?!

[@rayarayson3381]

Wait! Is she literally dancing in the dark.

[@TT-ee4qp]

Yes, but not totally darkness.

[@laurenbrown7403]

What's the name of this song?

[@mysteriousmcdgaming5663]

I think its Just around the river bank - Pocahontas

[@empressfogle955]

+Lauren Brown just around the river bank or whats around the river bank

[@manning3917]

just around the river band

[@paskatefan]

Just Around the River Bend, this is one of my most favorite of Michelle's exhibition programs!

[@britneyhill1530]

Just around the river bend jodi benson

[@TrevRl-gx6uu]

Gonna come out and say it I don’t appreciate Michelle Kwan appropriating our culture. She could have at least hired a native designer or her team could have.

[@syrinx114]

I knew this comment would be here somewhere. My god, this was 1996 and she was 15 years old then. She’s trying to portray and pay tribute to a character, not exploit her. Things have gotten so darn racist and PC these days.
