(Reuters) - American ice dancers Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue said on Wednesday they plan to heighten the drama in their "Romeo and Juliet" free dance routine when they compete at the world championships in Japan later this month.

The duo, who won worlds silver in 2018 and earned a second consecutive national title in January, are eager to improve on their showing at last month's Four Continents Figure Skating Championships where an errant lift saw them miss the podium.
