As a West Wing nut, put me squarely in the Marlee Matlin camp. Excuse my ignorance though; isn't being able to hear the music fairly important when it comes to dance? It will be interesting to see how she manages this.

loved Her in TWW - a BIG fave of mine in the Series
Kristi Yamaguchi should do very well...won't Ice Dance experience be a massive advantage? (BTW I like her by the way). It's a bit more that having been to Sylvia Young's!
Actually no, it's not at all! She was never a competitive *Ice Dancer* - that's a seperate discipline - she competed as a Figure Skater, ie. she did specific elements, jumps, spins, spirals, footwork, and high Lifts when she competed in Pairs as a Junior and briefly as a Senior (doing very well, 6th in Worlds), before concentrating on Singles.
Sylvia Young students learn to do what they actually do on SCD, ie. Dance, learn choreography, and Perform.
Kristi was a fabulous and very graceful skater so I would have thought will have natural elegance and poise. I guess learning the steps and "acting" will be a new experience. But she's certainly used to live performances in front of huge crowds.
After Olympics 92 she toured for many years as a Pro performing in COI and SOI shows, learning ensemble choreography, and acting out numbers, so I doubt that will be new for her. But dancing close up with a partner, in Ballroom Hold certainly will, aswell as adjusting her posture to be more upright, and not bend in the knees as she naturally would do skating.
As a massive skating fan, I'd really like to see how an ice skater gets on.
Me too! It's a pity Jayne Torvill never got the chance, as SCD invited her too late to participate after DOI came along.
I'm sure someone will have it up on YouTube before you know it. It might disappear again fairly soon afterwards as a couple of Oprah clips have vanished very quickly in the past.
Does anyone have access to Oprah? They're all appearing on Oprah tomorrow (Thursday). Will it be available to view somewhere without Sky?
Dance4Fun22 has set up a new YouTube account called ODance and will have the whole thing up on YouTube on Thursday night. I'll post the links on Friday morning.:)

Very true. Let's hope Kristi's partner can do as good a job adjusting her posture as Julianne did with Apolo.
It would be fascinating to see Jayne on SCD. She would obviously be used to getting up close to a partner and have timing, rhythm etc. Although I doubt she'd get enough of the popular vote to get to the latter stages, I'm sure she'd prove that some over 50s can dance! Her and Chris amaze me every week on DOI.
