Musicality in Skating

I know this is a little different than dancing, but I am a huge fan of figure skating, as I competitively skated a few years ago, while dancing at the same time. There are relationships between the two, as skating can be seen by some as dancing on ice. This is a performance from Alissa Czisny, who won the US Nationals Women Title this past weekend, and she is one of my favorite skaters to watch. As we move into talking about ragtime, jazz dance, and African dancing, which are very different styles than krumping and hip-hop, watch the musicality and gracefulness she shows during her performance, which helps set her apart from other skaters. What is your opinion on her musicality and choreography to the music, especially during her footwork sequence? Is there a comparison between skating and dancing?
