Junior Ice Dance - RD & FD

[Rukia]

Pedersen's faces are a lot

 

[Wyliefan]

They survived the RD!

 

[Aceon6]

Yahil is improving, too. But what might have been…

 

[Rukia]

Well no one fell that's like winning worlds for them

 

[once_upon]

I've been surprised at the lack of MJ when I thought that's all we'd see with 80's. But Queen certainly has been there.

Pedersen/Chen

Got through the twizzles. Good unison through the pattern steps. Chen stands out a lot in this partnership and in a good way and Pedersen did her job today. Happy team!

 

[peibeck]

Pederson/Chen: Best connections and transitions in and out of elements, but also a lot of ice flying off their blades. Hmmmm.

 

[PRlady]

MJ has a LOT of baggage.

And Charlie is such a nice guy.

 

[Wyliefan]

Jenna's dress looks like Elsa started to freeze it and then got stuck about a quarter of the way through.

 

[Rukia]

How many of us wore half jackets with one sleeve in the 80s? Anyone?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I was going to say I feel like the juniors are doing better than the seniors on costumes and then this dress happened.

 

[Karen-W]

I missed PedChen but they looked happy/relieved at the end, so there's that.

Hauer/Starr - I do not understand these costumes. At all.

 

[Wyliefan]

Sloppy second twizzle for him, but overall very good flow.

 

[PRlady]

There was nothing I liked about that dance.

 

[Aceon6]

Did I miss the required rhythm change?

 

[her grace]

Hauer/Starr

Very precise technically, good flow through the steps. I don't get a lot of 80s out of the choreo and packaging, though.

 

[toddlj]

This may be the first time I've seen him wear something that isn't drab and baggy.

 

[CassAgain]

I love this team so much—great music and one piece throughout.

 

[peibeck]

Hauer/Starr: Despite him flipping a bit early during the second set of twizzles, this kid seems like the strongest guy so far in dance. Great presentation, soft edges. She is a little stiff in her knees at time. Plus: TINA!

 

[Rukia]

Did I miss the required rhythm change?

You don't have to have a change in the rd, it's just that most people do it for reasons

 

[Rukia]

I'm not impressed with the Peals. Their skating doesn't have a lot of flow to it and they lack stretch

 

[Karen-W]

Peals - good job. I'm not feeling them as much as the Mullens but that's pretty much down to personal preference.

 

[her grace]

Peal/Peal

Twizzles slower than some of the other top teams, good performance quality, felt like a dance, will wait and see what caller does with their steps and turns.

 

[once_upon]

The Peels SD seemed longer than the last three altogether.

 

[peibeck]

Peals: It's like I'm watching Hubbell/Donahue without the chemistry, which really is needed (imo) for Janet Jackson.

 

[Wyliefan]

Into 4th! They look crestfallen.

Peals: It's like I'm watching Hubbell/Donahue without the chemistry, which really is needed (imo) for Janet Jackson.

lol they do not have the skating skills of H/D

 

[Aceon6]

Neither were the judges.

 

[Wyliefan]

I really miss Leah's old costume. The blue was so pretty.

 

[Badams]

The Scorpions! A nice change!
