Elena Kustarova about junior team Scoptsova / Aleshin

Elena Kustarova told about her junior team Anastasia Scoptsova / Kirill Aleshin, their new programs and explained, why guys had to rushed the preparations for the new season.

E.K.: For this season we prepared in Moscow, at our usual training camp. Director of our school created all needed conditions. We had ice, and gym, stadium, where athletes can run, do physical exercises. So, we quietly practiced at home as much as we wanted. We invited a lot of different specialists.

Preparation for the new season wasn’t easy, because in spring Kiril had his appendix out. He have been recovering the whole April and May. Nastia was skating alone. In June, we started to do the programs. Guys understand that they missed a lot, so we were very mobilized. We worked productive. It’s clear that now they are not in shape, in which we would like to see them, but there is still time. But Nastia and Kiril are training very good.

Of course, last season’s participation in junior Grand Prix final, bronze medals at the Junior Olympics have added them confidence. Also the guys have matured. Choreographers who have worked with them noted it too. They said that pair got new colours, they can have more mature programs, because they are able to express it.

Short dance consists of blues (Michael Bolton At Last) and swing (JYP My Baby), a free program to music with vocals O Mar E Tu (Dueto com George Dalaras). The dance is about love. About young man and a girl, about modern life. Actually, I want to say that all free dances of dancing couples anyway are about love, just this topic is shown in different interpretations. Love and passion at all times remain unchanged. This is forever. Guys like their program. Let’s wait, what experts will say.
