Better still, can't she be dressed as a fig?

I see another problem with your concept cholla : the costumes. Because wearing only serpent skin will make people run away : no judges, no marks, no medals.
Interesting concept indeed : you win your first trip to a Zoo instead of a medal

I am just wondering what happens if the program is uplifting and depressing at the same time. So we have Cleopatra who is dying (dramatic, depressing) and snake who dances with her is celebrating (uplifting). What does it say about the overall impact of this free dance? Audience suffering from split personality?

Those who identify with Cleopatra will find it depressing while those who identify with the snake will find it uplifting.

So the result depends on the composition of the particular judging panel.

But if there is a confusion, I think you have to loose 3 pts. That's the rule

Maybe the male should skate as Cleopatra, just so the judges lean towards being on the snakes side. Can't you see Charlie dressed as Cleopatra, with a black bob wig on?

The concept is ... funny, but it would create confusionso it means a -3 !!

[Daena]

Any news about Vanessa?

That's very likely outcome. We don't want to risk that. So we will choose better music. Any suggestion for uplifting spin to double suicide of Romeo and Juliet?

Use Prokofiev's original, happy ending.

An epilogue showing how the Montagues and Capulets learned from the tragedy and lived in peace and harmony, happily ever after?

You could add in joint household!

[sweetsparky]

To make Cleopatra's story uplifting, it's very easy : you have to see it from the vipers' point of view. Hey we've just bitten and killed the most famous queen of Egypt and of the whole Antiquity, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!

Amazing

And so true . A snake story: from Cleopatra´s breasts to Lysacke´s shoulders How uplifting is that ?

[SwingDancer]

Enough with the cleopatra and out of control dance concepts


Are there any substaniated and confirmed updates on Brian Joubert and who his new coach is?

This isn't "french news" strictly speaking, but since I translated this for one of you FSU members, then for the authors, I can as well post a link here : Pechalat/Bourzat have posted an interesting article on their FB Sports Team fan page : "Seminar Athlete and Artist". Scroll down for the English version.

I love the FFSG website that gives you Didier's agenda
Yesterday and last week, he had two interesting "rendez vous" and I hope we'll get a press release soon enough

And a picture of a new French pair:
Yannick Bonheur and ....Adeline Canac

I expect 3 splats per programme ...

[Artifice]

I expect 3 splats per programme ...

Maybe we can hope that with Bonheur's powerfull throws Adeline will be more secure to land her throw jumps. As for solo jumps... :

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This is going to be painful to watch.

Why?
I'd like to see it for the entertainment value

Ah, not a problem - most of the judges are snakes, but very few are Cleopatras.
