Just in time for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Netflix is dropping a four‑part series called Glitter & Gold: Ice Dancing, which spotlights the personal and professional journeys of three top teams from America, Canada, and France. Back in the day, ice dancing was a lowly cousin to pair skating, just as rhythm gymnastics seemed a frivolous distant relation to turbo-charged women’s gymnastics. That has changed. Ice dancing is far more athletic than it used to be but at the same time is ambitiously artful. And it’s super competitive (just think of where ballroom dancing has gone in recent decades). As with all sports, what follows is a mix of discipline, passion, luck, fate, and poignance—as when the show honors the young hopefuls who died in last year’s mid-air collision. —Carolina de Armas
