Moves of 2011 - Pechalat & Bourzat's Finale

Nathalie Pechalat & Fabian Bourzat (FRA)The last 15 seconds of this program is indefinable. A playful medley of moves set to a Charlie Chaplin theme ends and then girl suddenly goes blind again with a heartfelt, elegant and affecting finale music. You can feel the sadness and then hope and love again. I have never seen a touching finale like this before. The turn in the music and feeling of the dance comes out of nowhere.
Nathalie Pechalat, bottom, and Fabian Bourzat of France practice during the training session prior to the Ice Skating Bompard Trophy at Bercy arena in Paris, Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010. In their 4th time presenting this program, audience still thinks the program is over after Pechalat's hop from the back of Bourzat. But after a second, you hear that sad but in the mean time hopeful music while she seeks for her lover for a moment she loses hope, but tahen a glimpse of a touch with the happy ending.
I find Natalie so succesful in this performance. She acts blindness very well. But the actual move is where she becomes blind again while the music changes she reaches foward
