Ice dance is one of my favorite disciplines to watch because each team brings such a different set of strengths and artistic style to their performance.
Small details like edges, timing, and chemistry make a huge difference.

Each pair has a unique style, but they all have incredible skating skills, memorable music and choreography,
and the ability to captivate the audience.
