Barbara & Maurizio working with Susanna Rahkamo & Petri Kokko

"It has certainly been one of the most important professional experiences of our lives: working with Susanna and Petri is something really energetic and original! We started from the concept of combining our musicality and our temperament to the kind of passages typical of Susanna and Petri: from this came out a great, unique mix, also because there's a lot of respect and agreement between us. The result was a 3min and 35 sec free dance on the 'Adagio by Albinoni sung by Lara Fabian, really dynamic, rich in new lifts and new passages never seen before. For us this has been a difficult challenge, because it is not easy to get in tune with a different style, but I'm sure this will become one of our favourite programs for both our fans and all the ice dance lovers. One of the nicest things during this work has been the presence of little Max (ndt: Susanna and Petri's son), who followed us everywhere, giving us lots of moments of joy and tenderness. Thank you to Susanna and Petri for all the work we've done, I think we will repeat this collaboration soon. "
