FYI : Adagio skating is a form of pairs skating that is popular to use in inline, roller or ice skating shows. Adagio pairs perform many entertaining, dynamic and acrobatic lifts, but most of these adagio styled lifts do not qualify as any of the required technical elements which competitive pairs skating teams must perform in order to be scored properly.

a little mention on ATS show in the Kurt Browning’s interview with Absolute Skating

He has found the experience of skating outside of North America to be very rewarding.
“To go to Europe is… I mean, they have their special people, and we have our special people that we love and respect and are our generation of skaters that we look up to, and so do they. So if you can go there and leave an impression in someone else’s backyard, it’s pretty cool,” he said.
“And then, just simply put – when you go to Asia, it’s crazy fun because the audience is such a different feeling. And to have fans waiting for you to get on the bus? It’s like time travel for me, it’s like going back 15 years in time…it’s fun!” he laughed. “When Geoffrey [Tyler] and I went to Korea, it was nuts. It was an experience. I said, you do something for 20 years, you think you’ve pretty much felt what everything feels like, but skating in front of those audiences those three days was really cool. We were floating every night. Just floating home.“
