Dynamic Duo - A Silverstein & Pekarek Fan Site

I've been an avid skating fan for over half my life, and still, I can count on my fingers the number of skaters who've won my heart instantly. Jamie Silverstein and Justin Pekarek are two of these rare athletes. This young dance team from the U.S. wowed me from the first time I ever saw them skate, on television at the Junior World Championships in 1999.

The effortlessness of their complicated steps, their softness, their sparkle, the maturity of their presentation that belies their years... Jamie and Justin definitely have It. Already, in their first year of senior-level competition, many are heralding this talented duo as the ice dance team of the future. Whether or not this prophecy will come to pass is something we must wait to see... but I know that whatever happens, I'll enjoy watching their growth on ice.
