Igor and Mei

The young Russian traveled from China to partner a Danish girl, and got a documentary made about it that was just shown on WGBH, "Dance For Me". It's mostly in English, their common language, with subtitles for the Russian and Danish and for the English as well. As is so often in dance documentaries, you get to see how hard they work to become champions, which they do. Both are beautiful people as well, which helps. We wish the conventions called for less make up for her. Spray tan is another convention I have not had to experience. The main problem seemed to be the Russian drive versus the Danish politeness, but they made it work. Charming.
