John Curry

John Curry elevated figure skating to new artistic heights. Unfortunately he died young. RIP.

  • 1973 Worlds LP: Remarkable steps include a back cabriole and an “Axel” landing on the takeoff leg (takes off FO, lands BI).
  • Curry on Ice: In 1989, John Curry filmed a series called Curry on Ice, in which he coaches a group of mixed ability skaters. This series provided a fascinating insight into John’s technique, which is on full display throughout during his demonstrations.
  • John Curry Inspiration: More inspiring work of John Curry
  • After All: Curry’s coup de grace, choreographed by prominent choreographer Twyla Tharp. A true work of Fancy Skating, which involves setting figures and continuous skating to music.
