World-renowned figure skating duo
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, best known as simply Torvill & Dean, are world-famous figure skaters and former British, World, European and Olympic champions. The duo sprang to fame at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo when their routine to Maurice Ravel's 'Bolero' not only won gold but set a new record for the highest score ever achieved for a single programme. Incredibly, they bettered their Olympics score of 12 6.0s and six 5.9s at the 1984 World Championships when they scored 13 6.0s and five 5.9s. It also launched an astounding run that saw the duo finish no lower than first place in any competition over the next 10 years, ending with a bronze at the 1994 Olympics.
Torvill and Dean retired from competitive figure skating after the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics but their fame continued, thanks to a series of artistic collaborations and regular TV appearances. The duo danced to Paul Simon songs with the English National Ballet, teamed up with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, toured with Stars On Ice and appeared in a pantomime of Cinderella at the Manchester Opera House. In 2014 and 2024, they returned to Sarajevo to mark the 30th and 40th anniversaries of their remarkable achievement at the 1984 Winter Olympics. From 2018 onwards, they were the head judges on the TV series Dancing On Ice. In 2024, they announced their retirement from performing with a final tour entitled 'Our Last Dance'.
Absolutely amazing performance from start to the very end especially when Torvill, and Dean finished the show with their magnificent rendition of Bolero. The background skaters all brilliant in their own right, helped to make the whole show fantastic. A trip down memory lane, and well deserved retirement for them both. Thank you.
Slick smooth security checks, well signposted venue and helpful staff to help find seats… wasn't made aware of just how high the seats would be, have bad hip and scared of heights, was nervous climbing down the stairs at the end as parts had no banisters Can't believe I actually got to see Torvill & Dean live at last ….. good job my sister took me to the ice arena's toilets as wouldn't have seen their framed outfits on show
Endless other skaters / dancers / acrobats on ice. Not really a Torvill and Dean SHOW
Brilliant show. Very emotional thinking that was Torvil and Dean's last ever tour. And they are hanging their scates up. It made it more special because it was the last one in their home town. The show was very well put together. The dancing without saying was outstanding from all the ice skaters. Faultless. Just wow. The venue was very well organised. Brilliant members of staff to help. A show that I will be so honoured that i was their on the last ever one.
What an amazing show! Brilliant 😍. The venue was good. Easy entry. Short wait for merchandise. Very well organised. Torvill and Dean will be greatly missed ❤️
The show was absolutely phenomenal it was action packed with the professional dancers and rountines by Jayne and Chris. So glad I got to witness them both perform Ballaro for the very last time. All the best wishes to them both now in their retirement.
From start to finish it was absolutely amazing, really enjoyed it great atmosphere.
Very fantastic i had the most amazing afternoon and I thought the staff were so lovely and friendly and were helping everyone
Went to see the show in Nottingham after seeing the show in April at Sheffield, we enjoyed it so much we went for a second performance. The whole thing from start to finish is just amazing and the effort that is put in you find it hard to believe that Christopher and Jayne are the age they are. I remember watching bolero on TV the night they performed in in 1984 and it still gives you goosebumps the music is just amazing. Sad times that this is the end of the road for the pair but they should definitely hold their heads high and enjoy their retirement.
Amazing show from start to finish - I noticed the venues steep steps were a struggle for quite a few elderly people.
