Brannen and Drew Meekins, special to icenetwork Starr Andrews dons the earring that Olympic champ Kristi Yamaguchi once wore. ­Sarah S. Brannen An earring's journey When we talked to Starr Andrews after the juvenile ladies event, we noticed a pretty earring in her left ear, a small gold hoop with a crystal heart dangling from it. We didn't realize we had seen it before: Kristi Yamaguchi wore it as she won her Olympic gold medal in Albertville. It turns out that Tai Babilonia gave the earring to Yamaguchi back in 1992, and she wore it for the entire Olympic competition and for years afterward. "I really wanted to give her something special, something really cool," Babilonia told us. "And I saw her wearing it on the cover of Sports Illustrated." http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2014/01/23/67027190 1/5 6/29/2018 The Inside Edge: Sisterhood of the traveling earring | icenetwork.com: Your home for figure skating and speed skating. "I got it from Tai during a trying time when I competed," Yamaguchi said. "I wore it for good luck, and it symbolized strength and hope for me." Yamaguchi eventually gave the earring to Katia Gordeeva after the death of Gordeeva's husband, Sergei Grinkov, and eventually Gordeeva gave it back to Babilonia.

Madison Hubbell/Zachary Donohue (USA) danced to the silver medal, their first World medal while Canada’s Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje returned to the World podium for the first time after 2015 and earned their third medal. Papadakis/Cizeron delivered a beautiful dance to Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’, effortlessly completing intricate footwork and innovative lifts. The four-time European Champions, collected a level four for all elements and 30 perfect 10.00, including 10.00 from all nine judges for performance. The French Champions set a new highest score in the Free Dance with 123.47 points and overall with 207.20 points. “We’re really happy about what we did today, of course because of the scores but before that because of the feeling we had on the ice. We had so much fun and felt like we had so much control of what we were doing. It was one of the first times we achieved such a level of quality in our program and the connection was incredible between the two of us and with the public.

  • Technique Vs. Talent: Narration, Participation, and So You Think You Can Dance Kirsten Pullen Texas A&M University
    Technique Vs. Talent: Narration, Participation, and So You Think You Can Dance Kirsten Pullen Texas A&M University I wish I could dance. Like many, I took dance lessons as a child, and like many, I quit as soon as my mother would let me. But now, when I watch those old Gap khakis ads, or see Chris Brown’s videos, I get the urge to set up a ballet bar in the guest room and let my inner dancer twirl, leap, and glide. I suspect I’m not alone, and the success of the 19E Entertainment-produced, FOX-broadcast So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) seems to confirm my suspicions. There are several reasons behind SYTYCD’s success: it features lithe and lovely boys and girls gyrating against each other; the host, Cat Deeley, is gorgeous and charming; the audience votes for the winner. One reason, however, must be its narrative of talented but less technically proficient dancers triumphing through expressiveness, audience connection, and determination to master unfamiliar idioms. Lythgoe and the other judges appeal to viewers by suggesting that anyone, regardless of training and technique, can dance. In the words of producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe, SYTYCD is the search for America’s favorite dancer. I didn’t watch the first season, when Nick Lazzarini beat his friend Melody Lacayanga and the professionally experienced Blake McGrath for the title. Season 2 pit charismatic swing dancer Benji Schwimmer against twirling Travis Wall, a lyrical dancer who had trained for years; Benji won. Travis’ brother Danny Tidwell, a professional dancer who had studied at the Kirov Academy of Ballet and danced with the American Ballet Theatre was vanquished by Sabra Johnson, a former gymnast with just four years of formal dance training, in Season 3.
