Twitter Background Artist: Bolero and I.

My closest thing to me and Bolero.

Bolero, one of the most known skating routines in the world. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's routine on Valentines Day in 1984 got the most number of 6.0's ever by a ice dancing couple and no one since has been able to achieve this again. It was perfection. I've added a video of it, if you haven't seen the routine.

So last year my dance class got to do a dance to the music "Foreign Land" by Eskimo Joe. The costume for it reminded me of Bolero and there was three colours (blue, green and purple) I was very happy getting purple as it is my favourite colour. To top everything else in the dance we do the bolero ending lying on the floor. Which by the way is much quicker than Jayne and Chris' as I have coming from a standing position to laying on my side on the floor within about a count. Jayne & Chris fell to the ice from a kneeled position.

I wanted to see what my costume looked like compared to Jayne's Bolero costume so I made the picture shown above. Background of course had to be purple as it's Bolero! Purple is so connected to the routine now. So much that fans wear purple on the 14th of Feb. Dancing couple figure as it was my dance costume & Torvill and Dean dance on ice. Jayne has had a few different costumes for Bolero since doing Dancing on Ice, the picture I pick are special ones - the original, the 25th anniversary and Silks Bolero.

I sent the picture to Jayne and Chris to show them when they came back to twitter in Nov 2010 (@torvillanddean)

I got a reply back from Jayne which I put below. So my guess she liked it.
