Ice dancing can be as graceful as any other dance genre. One of the most exquisite performances was the 2018 gold medal free skate by Germany’s Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot at the Winter Games in PyeongChang.

Bruno, who’s a foot taller than Aljona, tosses her high to the rafters, as if weightless. She lands with power and poise after a few aerial spins on the way down — and that’s just the opening. The haunting score, by French composer Armand Amar, creates a mood of romantic longing, while the couple’s height difference adds drama.
