I agree with you that ice dance looks like the most fun, and I like that the (good) choreography truly looks like choreography, rather than steps marking time until the next flashy jump.
Yessssss. That loooooong skate backwards across the entire rink to set up for a jump annoys the crap out of me as a spectator. I always admire those who can make them just appear out of footwork (for example, well, Kurt Browning again). Dancers whose lifts appear out of nowhere are much more fun to watch.
I know! You should try to make everybody hold hands and skate around, the way you're not allowed to do in public sessions - whoever takes to it with a will has already passed the first partner test. :D
Hehehehe! I'll even take a girl as my partner--I don't mind being the guy if all we're doing is compulsory dances/test levels without lifts or anything!
