2017-2018 Program Music and Choreographers

[seabm7]

What is this competition? The arena looks like MegaBox Centre with a rink on the lower level, it's in Kowloong.... It's a party rink (so it seems to me) and not for intl events..... it's a place where you have 5 drinks and then go skating...... and if you jump as little as a double jump, everyone else who had a drink on all 4 floors hoorays outloud....... and bangs on the glass............. it's not even full size.... strange.

It's Asian Open Trophy. You are right. The name of the place is Mega Ice Hong Kong. The official YouTube channel has the clips from the ladies free skating and exhibition.

Ivan Righini
SP Lord of the Dance https://www.instagram.com/p/BXFrGjqFR3K/?taken-by=barielloivan

What's with the white Mohawk? His pants were falling down during the footwork necessitating his clutching at them. Is that going to be incorporated into the choreo?

That said, Ivan is definitely always enthusiastic, fully committed, and all-in on his programs. Ah but maybe he needs to choose a different kind of Lord of something music/ theme?

Jackie Wong reposted the first part of Nathan's SP on his Instagram and that's still up: https://instagram.com/p/BXNwJBnF5eN/

Who is Nathan's sp choreographer?

 

[Meoima]

IIRC her coaches have said she doesn't like super specific instructions for choreo or doesn't like to follow 100% of the choreographer's directions, so maybe it's just what she likes to do.

And it looks silly. Pink fairy maybe. But it's not a tango.

 

[VGThuy]

Who is Nathan's sp choreographer?

I read that it's Shae-Lynn Bourne.

 

[jenny12]

I love both Marin and Karen, but I think it's clear Marin's program is better and Marin is the better skater. Karen has lovely positions, nice expression, and great spins, but Marin is smoother, has softer knees, and her program has more choreography. Karen just glides around a lot. If they both skate well, I think Marin should place ahead of Karen pretty comfortably.

That is a lot of swans in the pond!

I cannot believe Ghost is truly a thing in figure skating now.

Oh, she ditched Beauty and the Beast? That's a pity. I was looking forward to that.

 

[Timmay]

Adam Rippon
SP: "Diamonds" from Rihanna performed by Adam Rippon

Does "performed by" mean he is singing it, playing the instrument(s) or choreographed it?

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Does "performed by" mean he is singing it, playing the instrument(s) or choreographed it?

Oh do I hope that Adam recorded a cover. Keep shining bright like a diamond, Adam!

 

[TanithandBenFan]

He used a cover of "Diamonds" for his SOI program this year, so I assume it's the same version. The cover was by Josef Salvat.

 

[kittysk8ts]

HAHA! And, ugh.

 

[Jeschke]

This

Though both 'new' choices seem kinda good for Bell. Not that I would care much though

 

[Coco]

I love across the universe. I suppose the Beatles original is too much to hope for.

 

[Meoima]

Yuzuru will do 5 quads in the free skate, the music is Seimei but with new music cuts (as that movie has a very long list of songs). https://wherespacepooh.tumblr.com/post/163950208929/yuzuru-hanyu-2017-18-media-day-master-post

I guess this mean 4lz will appear.
https://youtu.be/EbKAvvQ77Ng

Because he does 3A2T then 3A as the last jump. With 5 quads and two 3A, I think he will show a new quad soon.

 

[MAXSwagg]

Also likely to have 4T+1Lo+3S.

 

[alchemy void]

I love across the universe. I suppose the Beatles original is too much to hope for.

I think Fiona Apple's cover is very good and potentially could make an really impactful program.*

*My taste in music is subject to some discretion.

 

[Karpenko]

Seimei is back, yes!!! that is my favorite program ever from him, I hope he wipes the floor with everybody.

 

[misskarne]

I confess myself rather disappointed that at the crunch, Hanyu has simply gone back to the recycling bin. A third repetition of Chopin and a second repetition of Seimei.

 

[Meoima]

Also likely to have 4T+1Lo+3S.

the 4T1lo3S is here https://twitter.com/spread_wing0217/status/895084280673476608
I quite like this new combo already

 

[clairecloutier]

Yeah, I feel the same. I'm sure he has his reasons, and I'll still enjoy whatever he puts out there. But I really wanted something new & original. And brilliant. (It's not like he isn't capable of it. I think there's little limit to what he can do.)

 

[Karpenko]

I like that he's doing something with a Japanese feel for the Olympics, he didn't nail this program at Worlds that year and it'll have a new music edit (so it'll probably still feel fresh). His audience in 2016 was only 1/6 of the audience he'll have this season, it's going to be a brand new program to the Olympic audience.

I also loved that program so much that I just don't care that he's recycling. It worked a lot more than any of his other LP's did IMO.

Seimei is original. And with new music cuts and new choreography.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I fervently hope Rippon's SP will be very, very heavily inspired by this music, choreography, and performance.

Werk it like Dave Rent-to-Own's rent is due GURRRRRRRL YAASSSSSS!!!!

I love it when people say someone's dancing as if rent was due.

Lori saved us though and set a new standard:

If they look like that ^, yes you may. If it's like Morozov, no you may not.
