hahaha oh god. this list is in no way absolute.

1) Michelle Kwan.

I reserve the right to not name one specific program. But East of Eden and Dante’s Prayer are among my faves, in exhibition form. To add a competitive program, I will say that I always wished that “Miraculous Mandarin” would find itself in more finished form. So much so that I secretly want certain faves of mine to take on the impossible task of finishing this program for me.

2) Usova/Zhulin - Blues for Klook

Fave ever :)

3) Daisuke Takahashi - La Strada.

Ugh that’s so obvious, it almost feels tooooo easy. So, okay. But lbr, I probably would say Tango De Roxanne if i were being honest in my heart of hearts.

4) Krylova/Ovsiannikov - Masquerade Waltz.

I love their Carmen. It’s like my heart’s Carmen. And basically the best of all the faces Anjelika Krylova has ever given. But it’s their Masquerade Waltz for me when I start on my youtube spree.

5) I couldn’t decide on a fifth one, and I was going to go with Belbin/Agosto’s Let’s Get Loud because lol i will not deny that it is my fave. But Okay, I will say Johnny Weir’s Valse Triste. It is my absolute fave Valse Triste. I don’t care much for his post-06 work, but this is one program that I will usually revisit and tear up over. And UGH, stop talking about Carmen+Gaga together or separately because PLEASE GOD NO.
