Turkkila & Versluis: “We Want To Differentiate Ourselves From Previous Years”

Earlier this month, ice dance couple Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis skated in the show L'Apprenti Sorcier (The Sorcerer's Apprentice) organized in Champéry, Switzerland. The choreography was done by Salome Brunner and Stéphane Lambiel. The Finns were the only ice dancers in the show. How did they end up there?

“Last year, I edited the music for Deniss Vasiljevs' free program The Lion King,” Matthias says. This season, Matthias has done ten different music cuts for Lambiel's students.

“Towards the end of May, Stéphane asked us if we would be interested in joining the show. It was a great honor,” he continues.

“We were with an amazing group of skaters, some of the world's best. It's unique to skate with a live pianist,” Juulia shares.

In the show, Juulia and Matthias performed to Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No 2. They presented wonderful lifts and spectacular movements. The international audience was impressed by the couple's soulful performance.

Finland's top couple has been training hard throughout the summer.

“Early May, we went to Rome for new choreography. In June, we had some vacation time and in July, we went to the Czech Republic for five weeks of summer camp,” Juulia says.

The rhythm dance theme for the 2024–25 season is Social Dancing from the 1950s–1970s.

“We chose music from the 1960s because we suspect that many teams will use disco from the 70s,” Juulia explains.

The pair found a go-go jive song that they immediately liked, and combined it with James Brown's classic I Got You.

“We wanted high energy music that the audience can recognize. There is no slow part in our rhythm dance. It is challenging,” Juulia reflects.

The couple's free dance is the Argentine Tango La Rubia Mirella, which is based on true events. The story was introduced to the couple by an Argentinian tango dancer, who worked with them on and off the ice.

“The beginning is quite soft, but the end is really strong. We want to show that we can be strong and fast. The language of movement is traditional tango, but the program is not built from typical dance movements,” Matthias shares.

Juulia plays a strong woman initially, but is used and abused by men. Matthias plays the role of a villain. The ending is dramatic.

“When there is a clear story, you have to bring in more emotion and drama,” Juulia states.

The pair's programs will first be seen in the Challenger Series competitions, followed by the Grand Prix events in Finland and China.

“We are aiming for medal positions in both GP competitions, and thus a place in the GP final. We are trying to collect world ranking points so that we can start competitions in the right groups during the Olympic season,” the couple says in unison.

With a fierce tango, Juulia and Matthias will be taking a different path this upcoming season, changing their image as classical lyrical skaters.

“We want to differentiate ourselves from previous years. A new combination lift is in the works for the free program, and the choreographic elements will be totally in character with the tango,” Juulia sums up.

僕が知らない時間に

誰かが君と会ってる

君を可愛くさせたのはどこのどいつ

While I was unaware

You met someone else

So, who is the guy who made you this cute?

一年ぶりに帰ってくる

早く会いたいけど平常心

少し垢抜けた？

なんか複雑だけど…可愛いな

You’ve come home for the first time in a year

I can’t wait to see you, though I act natural

Have you become a little more elegant?

I have some mixed feelings about it… But well, you look adorable

つまり…

僕が知らない時間に

誰かが君と会ってる

君を可愛くさせたのはどこのどいつ

君が知らない時間に

どれだけ僕が想っても

君を可愛くさせるのは僕じゃない

近くにいられたら

変な虫 追い払うのに

つまり…

好きなんだ

So, in short…

While I was unaware

You met someone else

Who is the guy who made you this cute?

All while you remain oblivious

No matter how much I think about it

I’m not the one who made you this cute

If I could be closer to you

I’d get rid of all the weird pests around you

Simply put…

I’m in love with you

もう帰るって？早すぎるよ

引き止めたいけど女々しいな

寂しそうじゃない

なんか複雑だけど応援するよ

You’re already leaving? So soon?

I wanna stop you, but I’m too much of a wimp

You don’t look upset about leaving

I have some mixed feelings about it, but I’m rooting for you

君を想ってる時間と

君に想われる時間が

縮まればどんなに幸せか

僕が迷ってる時間に

誰かが君を奪っても

それを知ることもできない

遠距離片思い

You have no idea how happy I’d be if I could shorten

The time that I spend thinking of you

And the time that makes me think about you

Someone could steal you from me

In the time that I was hesitating

And I’d have no way of finding out about it

Such is how it is to be in a long-distance unrequited love

いつだって帰ってくればいい

いつだって逃げてくればいい

いつだって頼ってくればいい

こっちの気持ち知らない

天使の笑顔が

You can always come back whenever you want

You can always escape whenever you want

You can always rely on me whenever you want

You don’t know how I feel about you

Your smile, my angel,

「可愛すぎんだろ」

“Is way too cute!”

僕が知らない時間に

誰かが君と会ってる

君を可愛くさせたのはどこのどいつ

君が知らない時間に

どれだけ僕が想っても

君を可愛くさせるのは僕じゃない

近くにいられたら

変な虫 追い払うのに

つまり…

me: wow, writing the inner thoughts of this character whom i headcanon as being aromantic and autistic is really easy for me, even though he's currently in a situation that relies on him comprehending social contexts and romantic undertones. that's a nice change of pace!

me:

me: oh yeah, i'm aromantic and autistic. that'd explain it.
