This is the way to dance - I've been swinging around the gouse since watching this:

And this is their controversial performance in Estonia which caused the Aust Aboriginals to get so upset:

I get why it was deemed "politically incorrect", but god it was cool, that aboriginal routine. They're about the best ice dancers I've ever watched - thanks for turning us onto them!

Love watching ice dancing anyway - it seems like the most difficult of all the skating types. It doesn't have the dramatically high "lifts" - just pure strength and synchronicity.
