This program is beautiful. I think, I got into it a bit late, not during AOI, but after I saw the videos and close ups and everything. Pity, Stephane didn't perform it again somewhere although initially he thought about doing it.

I love this program too! Most of the times its the first program I let people watch when I explain about figure skating and Stéphane. In Holland not much people follow figure skating, so there's a lot of explaining to do for me :-)
But the one you let us see here, shows again the difference between TV (lot of close-ups and mixed with the emotions of Anastacia) and homevideo's. The one you link here, shows so much more overview and flow of the motions. Great to watch it again.
But it is yet another homevideo of this occasion. A little lower and with less overview, but with more words of Anastacia at the beginning and it goes through to the end.
And what I also let people watch, is the homevideo of the ending of the première. The first time they skated it, and from what I see, there it wasn't planned that they'd skate together in the end. It is so beautiful to see how Stéphane takes the lead, but is also constantly tuning in to Anastacia to explore what's possible. He's not overwhelming her, but tuning in to her and not making her uncomfortable. That's a great quality of him!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeI9yU6pKS8&feature=related This is my favorite backstage-video.
stephanie2006, I am late with this but thank you very much for the video you linked to in the post above - I must have missed him somehow in March, so I saw and appreciated him only today. It's just great! There are no words to thank you enough for taking it for us!
