- Featuring cameo appearances by Chris and Jayne themselves, this short film, Mass Bolero, was conceived and directed by Fiona Buffini, Associate Director of Nottingham Playhouse, in partnership with Dance4, Confetti Media Group and Spool and choreographed by Jeanefer Jean-Charles.
Mass Bolero stars hundreds of people from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and was made in the spring of 2014 in tribute to Torvill and Dean marking 30 years since their Olympic triumph in Sarajevo.

This is November 2023. I am a german citizen living in the Caribbean since the 90'ies. I recall this most unique performance from 1984. This was a labour of love , art and perfection. But what a great performance this is from wonderful people honoring Torvill and Dean in such a beautiful and breathtaking way, how better could someone pay respect living legends that have touched us so much with this magnificent Bolero , soon 40 years ago
seeing this for the first time Sheltering in Place in California, crying for the beauty of the people of Nottingham. THANK YOU.
I just found this. It is the sort of things which makes me love the British people. Emotion, humour and pride.
36 years later this still by far the most memorable ice dance of all time.
I heard more recently that Nottingham collected a sizeable lump sum to fund Jayne and Chris in their bid to win this Olympic medal. This entire community won the gold that year. And you gave a lasting gift to the world. That performance is legend. I will always watch it from time to time until the day I die. I cannot bear to watch it too often because I have to brace for something so exsquisite that it never fails to make me weep.
I, too, found myself teary-eyed when it popped up just now and I saw just part of it for at least the 30th time. It moved me to share it with a stranger on the train. She didn’t speak my language, but I know the dance will transcend such barriers.
In our time of global grief and social distancing this is the perfect antidote to despair for the human race.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I could barely watch this video for all the crying! This touched me so much and I have no connection to Nottingham. Just seeing people from all walks of life coming together like that...I couldn’t take it, it was so emotional and so wonderful! It just shows that we are truly all one human family. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 😊😊😊😊
Me too!
They all equally did a tear jerking rendition of Bolero.Well done Nottingham. 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💐💐💐
As choreographer of Mass Bolero, I just want to say what a brilliant job the participants have done. Great work and well done. And huge thanks to the rest of the team who made this happen. Yeah!!
Congratulations Jeanefer. You, Fiona, the participants, and everyone involved have done a breathtaking job. Thank you for brightening my day - I'm playing my part in making sure this goes viral :-)
Andrea Baldwin Me too! Just posted it on Twitter. Facebook is next.
Awesome work and looks like loads of fun.
Congrats on a brilliant job! Your work shines through each of the participants. Lovely and so moving. Great work from a super team!
You. Are. Amazing!!!!
So relieved to read that loads of people were crying! I'm a puddle and I'm not sure why it's so emotional. What a wonderful thing
Thirty years ago, I had tears streaming down my face while watching the Olympic performance. Today, same thing happened watching this tribute. Thank you, Fiona Buffini and Nottingham.
Haven't seen this before. Absolutely beautiful .
Every time i hear Bolero, i think of Torville and Dean
I am a little late to the party but this was INCREDIBLE. So amazing at all the people involved. Brought tears to my eyes. Nicely done!!!
Wow!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
I will always come back to this video to watch it in tears. You have no idea what a pivotal moment it was for me to have seen Torvill's and Dean's original performance that lost day, so long ago. I realized even before the judges perfect scores went up on the board that I had witnessed perfection, and that perfection in art is possible.
What a marvelous brilliant tribute to this fine pair and to the people of Nottingham Oh how I enjoyed the film. When people aspire to do good this is what happens lets have more of it please please please
What a wonderful tribute to a memorable performance. Wonderful job Nottingham!
I cried when they won Gold, I cried again when I saw this amazing tribute to an amazing couple. We are so proud of them and so very glad the Council sponsored them all those years ago. They have repaid it a thousand times over. Well done Nottingham. I am proud to have lived there.
Moira Jones agree. I wonder if other athletes are sponsored by local councils ever?
BRILLIANT. Proof in the Covid-19 crisis that humanity is worthwhile, and does deserve to carry on. Maybe we can do better in the future.
How on earth have I NEVER seen this?! This is just brilliant!
Lovely film! The East Midlands is a hotbed of creative talent!
You realise how difficult this routine must have been on ice when seeing these people recreating it.
Im so amazed at how so many people remember this and ill bet 99% of then have never skated in there lives. Truly amazing effort.
Well done Nottingham. The inclusion in this is awe inspiring. Everyone involved should be very proud
This is, by far, the best community tribute ever made! Loved the obvious dedication of all the Mass Bolero participants. WELL DONE!
+Martie Rollin i was in it 4:56 i was one of the girls at the end
I've never seen this before. Fantastic. Made me quite emotional.
What a wonderful country we live in. This video is a tribute to the fantastic people of Nottingham and Torvill and Dean, two true heroes of our time. The rugby players were hilarious and I love Jayne's shrug of the shoulders at the end. Brilliant in every way, I just want to see ALL of the performances in full!!! SHARED !
I swear a tear up every time I watch this. Well done. Really!!
Brilliant. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Well done everyone involved.
This was wonderful. So much love here, truly a labor of love. It made me laugh and made me weep. Regards from the USA to Nottingham.
Utterly brilliant - to all concerned - thank you
Crying. Thank you. This is what we need in this time of lock down. Beauty.
What an absolutely splendid video. It must have taken you weeks to compile . What a tribute to Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean💕💕💕
Awesome.... absolutely marvelous! Congratulations from a German living in the Caribbean since 30 years. But I was there watching in Germany Torvill Dean with their unique Bolero performance.it was a labour of love. Amazing and never ever seen something like it again..... congratulations to the proud citizens from Nottingham!
A quirky/creative tribute to a quirky/creative couple from a quirky/creative city that is deeply amusing yet deeply moving! !
What a wonderful description that is Chris! Sums the film up perfectly! #MassBolero *_*
Nottingham, you're making me want to come and visit you - all! Well done Fiona and quirky/creative crew.
Absolutely amazing I love how they played it cool at the end 😀🥰
A wonderfully thought out concept beautifully brought to life by those in front of and behind the camera. Well done and thank you to everyone involved. A touching tribute to two amazing Olympians.
Right, well this just made me cry. Brilliant!
Simply amazing!! Brought a tear to my eye, this mass tribute of regular folks to a terrific pair of artists. Bravo!! That was a golden era of figure skating, with amazing athletes from all over. My family would gather to watch the competitions religiously. My dad was a particular fan.
Ok, this was all kinds of awesome. Well done!
That was wonderful and I cannot imagine how many hours of rehearsal it must have taken to get everyone so good at all the moves
Beautiful! Oh man!!
Brilliant, well done everyone, a fantastic tribute to two huge stars!!
The end especially is a stunner! Amazing project and film!
Still cry when i watch this!
2:47 might be my favorite dancers
OMG, that’s stunning!!! Just amazing…. Great job!!!
A Fitting Tribute to a FANTASTIC Pair of Skaters. My main regret is never having been able to see them skate LIVE. If only !! Well deserved and well executed xxx thank you
Hurray for Nottingham! What an amazing thing. Feels great to watch as we are all isolated in our little quarantines during the Coronavirus-19 pandemic, reminding us we can always choose to know we are all in this together to do great things and salute others who do and did great things. Each in our own way. Together. Separate and Together.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm not crying- you're crying 😂💖
This is just freaking delightful
OMG! Too fabulous for words. Never seen anything like this before. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 👏
0MG!!!!!!!! Never seen this before. THANK YOU. ❤❤❤
Fan-Blimmin-tastic, I loved the shrug from Jane at the end.... The singing too!
From Australia, This put a big smile on my face. Congratulations to all.
That was incredibly brilliant, touching and probably the best video I've ever seen on CZcams.
Amazing film and a great tribute...I remember it so well...hard to believe it was 30 years ago...and yes I cried then
Wonderful. 1984 was my best year, too. Thank you for bringing it back.
Love it!!!
Fabulous. Everyone totally committed.
Incredible!! So much love and so much humor!! Pure English humor! How creative this is... No words.... Lots of respect from Canada.
Inclusiveness...priceless!
W0W I LOVE IT. i Have been practicing this with my daughter in our living room.
And practice 666,666,666 more times, or until you've obtained perfection.. which ever comes first!
Loved this here in the states!
how on earth did you manage to work with all these people? amazing
Proud to have been born in Nottingham.
This put a real lump in my throat, so moving to see people making something beautiful together.
Brilliant! I genuinely felt emotion. It reminds you how we are all the same, we are all human. We are all capable of such beauty no matter what age, ethnicity, gender etc.
Well done :)
Wow! Just wow! Beautiful! Nottingham, this is amazing. Thank you!
FAB-U-LOUS!!!
Absolutely Awesome. Thumbs Up!
what a wonderful tribute to the greatest ice dance pair ever
Fabulous!
Wonderful, thanks for doing this!
this is a wonderful tribute to 2 amazing Olympians from the people of Nottingham - huge respect to everyone involved, it is so moving!
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Gorgeous Thank you
So nice! What a great tribute! I remember the '84 Olympics and being spellbound by their routine!
Brillant idea …well done 🤗⛸️🤩
PROPER NOTTS! Absolutely brilliant idea, every single person who took part should be right proud.
This made me feel so homesick - I left Nottingham in 1966!!
Oh, oh, oohhh.
What a great idea, wonderfully executed. Brilliant, cheered me up on yet another rainy day :)
Fiona, what a FANTASTIC piece! Kudos, kiddo. You've done a magnificent job!
What a fantastic video. I cried! The dancers all oozed with humanity, and there was something about celebrating individuality as a whole, inclusive society which was profoundly moving. If only people could keep images of this in their heads when they go to voting booths at election times.The more we allow others to flourish, in all their different ways, so do we flourish as loving people. Well done, Fiona Buffini!
That was wonderful!
I watched the filming of the last scene and spoke with the producer for a few minutes while they were waiting. Fabulous!!
