ON "STARS ON ICE"
Are you pumped for the show?"I'm really excited, yeah. Charlie and I haven't gotten a chance to really do the 'Stars on Ice' tour since the Olympics in 2010. It's such a fun experience to be in a show atmosphere and get a chance to do what you love with your friends. " I know a lot of people remember falling in love with ice skating by seeing "Stars on Ice." Is that true for you?"Absolutely. I remember going to the shows when I was little and just being in awe of my skating heroes. " Meryl Davis and Charlie White at the Olympics. The duo will be performing at "Stars on Ice" on April 10, 2014 at the Hershey Giant Center. Can you tell me a little about your number in "Stars on Ice?""Charlie and I are actually doing a different version of our free dance for the show. It's to the music of 'Scheherazade' and we're both also doing a piece to Rachmanioff." What drew you to those pieces in particular?"They're both just stunningly beautiful pieces of music. I think thats really one of the things Charlie and I have always looked for in programs - for music that makes us really, really urges us to perform." Any post "Stars on Ice" plans?"No, no, no! We're having fun with the post-Olympic wave we're on. "Charlie and I were talking yesterday about the fact we haven't spent more than a couple days at home since the Olympics. So, we're going to wait before we make any decisions." ON ICE DANCING
Do you feel like ice dancing is on the rise with you and Charlie?"Ice dancing has a lot of depth...And there's so much talent in American ice dancing. There's so much to encourage people to watch and root for the American dance team... I think America has done a great job in producing teams that are capable of going to those top spots." I have to confess that I had never heard of ice dancing before the Olympics - and during the Olympics it was all anyone would talk about. Do you think that those feelings will last and that the sport is rising in popularity?"As American ice dancers, we all think so. It's exciting that other people are taking notice." What has the been the key to your success?"I think that if it's something you love - just hard work is what Charlie and I relied on all these years. It is something that we're passionate about, which made all the hard work, all the daily training, fun and worth the effort. I think having the passion for something and working hard at - that is a wonderful combination." I know passion is key, but what else keeps you motivated throughout the practices and rehearsals?"I just love the feeling of getting better. I love the feeling of there being something I couldn't do, working on it and being able to do it. I think for years and years that growth process was really what Charlie and I thrived on."
