Meryl Davis and Charlie White’s “Billie Jean” Routine Still Captivates Fans
When people think of unforgettable Olympic moments, figure skating often delivers some of the most visually striking performances.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, American ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White gave a performance that still resonates with audiences today.
Competing against the world’s best, Davis and White delivered a rhythm dance set to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson—a bold and unconventional choice for Olympic ice dance at the time.
Their routine combined sharp footwork, synchronized timing, and expressive storytelling.
Rather than relying only on classical music, they brought a modern, pop-inspired energy to the ice, which helped them stand out in a highly competitive field.
