Siblings Perform Elegant Ice Skating Routine To Rock Music

Brother-sister figure skating duo Oona and Gage Brown were filmed performing an elegant ice skating routine to a medley of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.” The two performed the routine at Bryant Park's Winter Village ice rink and a single camera recorded their dance, unedited, in its entirety! This performance was in the fall at 6:45 AM. The couple are used to early morning practice sessions. After bringing home the bronze medal in the 2020 U.S. Figure Skating Junior Nationals, Oona Gage, aged sixteen, and her brother, Gage Brown, aged eighteen, uploaded a video of their latest free dance routine to the accompaniment of “Nothing Else Matters,” by the rock group Metallica. The song, which was originally released in 1991, was played alongside covers by both Marlisa Punzalan and Los Ultimos Romanticos for this routine. So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are The Long Island based duo began figure skating early in life, Gage at age 6, and Oona at age 8. The two did not team up, however, until September of 2016, and are currently being coached by Inese Bucevica and Joel Dear. The duo begin their daily skating training by waking up at 5am for their first three hour skating session, followed by school work and a second three hour training session for a total of six hours of training per day. In an interview for Ice-Dance.com, the siblings said that their favorite part of ice skating was, “We feel like we are able to express ourselves more on the ice with each other, skating as a team definitely gives us more confidence. Both of us when skating singles would get pretty nervous before competitions, we still get nervous but nowhere near as much as we used to.” As the single camera follows the skaters’ routine, it seems to move with the duo and its sweeping movements really make you feel like you’re on the ice with them. It’s truly mesmerizing to see their dance so closeup like this! Can you imagine having such an incredible God-given talent?
