	Ice dancing: The thrill of the spill. - By Jill Hunter Pellettieri - Slate Magazine
		Ballroom dancing on ice, or ice dancing, is an inherently silly concept, lagging behind pairs and singles figure skating in terms of acrobatics, athleticism, and gravitas.
		What's more, the "sport" is riddled with limitations—only two lifts are permitted in the original dance, and according to the rules, none can demonstrate "obvious feats of strength" (skaters may not lift over the head or sit on the back or shoulder).
		Given that ice dancing seems to require little more than basic coordination, mediocre rhythm, a terrible outfit, and a cheerleader grin, these falls border on the surreal.
