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!

[@michellemoffett9458]

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

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]

[@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.

[@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

[@Rockonteddy1]

Awesome, breathtaking and yes, ....... Divine!

[@Eilatj]

@szqsk8 I agree. I practically stopped watching figure skating after Torvill and Dean. They are absolutely unique, DIVINE. =)

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.

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

[@muscleboi4use]

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.

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!

[@memoir4you]

Absolutely sensational ! That was top notch! I hope they got well deserved scores for a difficult routine. So fast paced.

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!

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.

The dance must be included into the complusury dances program.

[@madabbafan]

not really. Back then there were 2 compulsory dances the original set patten and the free dance. The two compulsory dances had a certain set of moves that could be performed and had very strict rules about the moves performed. The OSP had more freedom but had to be a set style and within a certain tempo range. Also the dance steps had to be repeated 3 times. This was replaced by the origional dance which removed the rule to repeat the same steps (it is now the short programme) The free dance had fewer rules but did have limits on lifts and jumps etc (but far fewer limits and set compulsory moves than they imposed post 1984)

[@ЛюдмилаКозлова-э7р]

под ними ни лёд, а масло

[@russianskatingfan]

While I didnt agree with G&Ps 94 gold medal and found their program very sloppy and not even one of their better ones (or not even their best performance to that program, which was Europeans that same year by far) I dont think it is correct to say it was a ripoff of this. Yes both were rock and roll but the styles and programs were totally different. A closer to a ripoff would be G&P`s 98 Olympic program vs a combination of Bolero and the 88 FD of B&B.
