Virtue and Moir #21 - Carry On as the Waltz Goes On

**kosjenka** · 10-25-2012, 10:27 PM

I am not very happy with music cuts in first half of the program, but there is a good chance they will master with choreography.
I am very happy with the direction they have taken.
We are having the most interesting season and Olympics will be AMAZING!

Virtue and Moir engage in new battle of Carmens http://www.thespec.com/sports/articl...tle-of-carmens

sahararainfall..I liked the meds joke..

The sex jokes will be inevitable , anyway, so..bring 'em on... The thing is, the exquisite skating is there.. and the sexiness is really like a force of nature.. not Morozov-grungy.

I'm really happy that they're using Don Jose's aria ( don't know the name / first line)..the one where he's falling hard. It's not often used ( I think :?)and it's lovely.

Practice starting.

Oh geez. From what you see, that's a pretty good program... from practice anyway.... much more to my taste...

Couldn't really see much of the SD the feed was so slow on my computer it was more like a slide show. The music sounded a lot perkier than I expected it to.

**Pratfall** · 10-25-2012, 11:05 PM

OMG! The SD is just as good , I think.. even the polka works.

Are you going to be there too? I wish they were going to be there, but I have Savchenko and Szolkowy as well as Tuk to fawn over.

**Macassar88** · 10-25-2012, 11:07 PM

The SD was okay, but they didn't really do much of it, and I imagine it will be much better with costumes etc.

Exactly. They found a polka that goes perfectly with the waltz, I was relieved to hear it. The ending is lovely and the step sequence looks good.

I had that slide show problem as well, just reloaded the page and it seemed to fix it. As to the Short Dance, its hard to figure that Dance out. That polka mixed in with Anthony Hopkins composition... I really don't know how he would react to that. Other then that, we probably only saw maybe half the choreography to the Short Dance and they broke it up between each segment. Hard to say until we see the full Short Dance on Friday.

Sd practice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6U1Tu9J1R8&feature=plcp Thanks again diodio0013plus!

The feed was so bad during the SD practice, I basically couldn't make out anything. Except the music, but I've already stated my love for that.

**aka_gerbil** · 10-25-2012, 11:25 PM

They did so little of the SD, it's hard to tell much at all. I thought the twizzles looked really good though, and I really like their non-touching step sequence.

Thanks. I think my problem right now is trying to adjust to the perkiness of that after the excitement of Carmen

But their skating skills in the step sequences (SD and FD) are looking so sharp already.

**clarie** · 10-25-2012, 11:32 PM

This is a beautifull SD. Anthony Hopkins will be thrilled that they are going to perform it so beautifullly.........Love that last lift

. Tessa creates such beautiful expression with just her arms nevermind all the rest. Scott is amazing as usual with his partnering skills.........

**Sahararainfall** · 10-25-2012, 11:35 PM

Nevermind. It's loading now...

They stopped after a few steps. They did the polka at the end of the practice session, and they also repeated the twizzles (very well done, especially the second time).

Thanks. Video still buffering for me. I guess my internet connection is as tired as I am. Maybe I'll just wait for the real thing.
