The free program of Hongbo Zhao students, choreographed by Lori Nichol on the main extract of "Samson and Delilah" by Camille Saint-Saens & egrave; It was marked by flashes of pure class and somewhere on an empty step. We memorize options Accordingly, the only quad salchow launched & egrave; worth the price of the ticket because & egrave; no pair ever in history had been able to perform 'in a better element by inserting it perfectly set within the choreography.
