Dan's Gold

Created 2006
Choreographer: Marcia Little & Dan Hollander

I feel this is my most creative story line routine to date. I was at the NJS (now simply called IJS) seminar and decided to do a routine that would spoof our sport. I mean come on, we were forced to create a new system because of the corruption in judging, what’s not to laugh about? I wanted to include the Nancy incident, the French judge, and a few other ideas. Then I figured I would need it commentated like you were watching TV. I wrote the script and had Jon Drew, the COI announcer, do it for me. I practiced it all summer in Sun Valley. Everybody told me it was good number, but it would GREAT if I could get Dick Button to do the commentating. A quick phone call to Dick, and guess what, a few weeks later it was done. Thank you Mr. Button, for making this one of my best routines. I am forever in your debt.
