Weekend public sessions are now maddeningly crowded. 'Tis the season. Coach K and I had to bail on last week's lesson after two attempts at skating the canasta tango. So nothing new to report from Thin Ice HQ. But after having a couple of her students who have lessons ahead of mine cancel, K and I agreed to move tomorrow's lesson to the beginning of the session. No warm up for moi, but the ice should be better at the front end of the session than at the mid point. Hopefully some of the ice tourists will go do some last minute holiday shopping and the remainder will be take their time tying up their rental skates.
Meanwhile we can watch Maya and Alexander skate the Argentine Tango at the 1989 Worlds.

Worst part of that dance: keeping the flow on the cross-rolls before the restart, besides that, this is one of my favorite dances, passed it on the first try too :). Thanks for posting it!
