Who is the choreographer of Madison/Evan?

Who is the choreographer of Madison/Evan?

I wouldn't be surprised if Rohene Ward will be part of the team even if he won't be the lead choreographer. Madison Chock basically said he's a permanent member of their team now.

They're in Colorado right now so they might be working with Rohene and/or Christopher Dean again, or they might choose someone else for the FD. Pogrebinsky/Benoit train with Igor and they got their FD from Shae-Lynn.

I hope he does better for her than he did for Liza.

 

[DobrinFan]

I hope he does better for her than he did for Liza.

My hope as well. Pity cause her programs at this past test skates were her best competitive programs she's had in her career, IMO. So sad she dumped them

From Madi's Team USA blog:

Now we are off to Colorado Springs to begin the new creative process with our choreographer, Christopher Dean!

I don't think he's going to give them a retread, he seems to appreciate their more quirky side.

 

[clairecloutier]

Guess I'll have to see La La Land before next season, just so I understand all the programs!

Don't worry, by the Olympics, it will be completely Igor-fied with an overabundance of arm throwing and Chock tossing.

Well, how else is she going to make it through a step sequence? . Ok, that was mean. I acknowledge that she's worked very hard to carry her own and has been capable of hard transitions into elements like that underappreciated transition into the twizzles in their SD this season that they had to take out because it made no difference in their scores, and I respect all the effort she put in. Plus, it's not as if she's been making the mistakes in the past two seasons.

Anyway, between Igor and Christopher Dean, I expect much wear and tear on Chock's body after being used as a prop all season as they like to do for their female ice dancers for their choreography.

 

[Wyliefan]

There is a lot of waltz in La La Land, so it makes sense for dance. Not sure how I feel about it for C/B.

There is a lot of waltz in there, but five bucks says they go with "A Lovely Night" for at least part of it. Just today I was thinking we'd probably see some dance team or other grab that one!

Maybe not. *crosses self, spits on ground* I think they worked with Dean and Rohene Ward all through this season whenever changes were made. They will need Igor's touch to get their levels, though.

Maia and Alex are working with Stephane Lambiel right now. We don't not know what program yet.

I cannot wait to see this.

 

[Eeyora1]

If she bombs every single performance of it, then she will have officially completed her transition into Nancy Kerrigan.

I'll just assume she saving the Neil Diamond stuff for the 2022 games.

And maybe she can throw in a program to music composed by Mark Militano in the years between!

I don't even think that's skatable. Nice idea though. As long as he doesn't play Lafayette

 

[Marco]

I hope he does better for her than he did for Liza.

I want to believe that what Liza showed was not the true product from Eman.

 

[Hindernisse]

I hope he does better for her than he did for Liza.

I heard Mishin tends to remove (a lot of) choreo from his students' programmes if he feels it might negatively affect the clean execution of the elements. So what you saw might not necessarily be what Sandhu choreographed.

Some of it could be skateable, I think. "Wait For It" comes to mind.

It's been skated to and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself seemed to appreciate the performance.

The music might work better as a pairs short program, you just never know. I'm willing to take a wait and see approach on all these new programs.

So funny. I just heard "Where the Streets Have No Name" on the radio the other day, and thought, "This could be interesting music for skating, surprised no one has tried it yet."

I like their choreographer choices!

 

[VGThuy]

I always thought "With or Without You" could make a very interesting pairs program.

 

[clairecloutier]

U2 has barely been used in skating. The only program I can think of, off-hand, is Yuruzu's "Velocity" EX. Which I liked.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Ricky Dornbush used a muzak version of With or Without You, I think? Also, there was Kim and Brent's FD to "One" by Bono and Mary J. Blige.

Navarro & Bommentre did in their 2009-2010 free dance:
