2020-21 Programs and Choreographers

[Bigbird]

I'm discouraged by their selection. If both Christina/Anthony and Chock/Bates keep their respective rhythm dances they'll both be skating to Too Darn Hot. Then Christina/Anthony will skate to Doctor Zhivago, which was previously used by Chock/Bates. Christina/Anthony are practically asking for the comparison.

Sooner or later the fog will clear, Chock/Bates and Papadakis/Cizeron and Hubbell/Donahue will retire and they will fly to Montreal, period.

Igor has really fallen unto lean times without Marina. It's not for nothing that Zhighansin hated working with him.

I don’t think they can go to Montreal. Carreira needs to reside in the US to eventually get citizenship.

They're effectively stuck.

Ooo, a tango! I’m here for this, their tango RD was so good!

I bet there will still be people who find a way to say they do the same thing every year, still.

NOT! A! MUSICAL!

I hope Nikita crappily twizzles his way to your World title now!

 

[Wyliefan]

Did the "it has to be a musical" requirement carry over to this season? Or only the Finnstep requirement?

It’s the exact same as last year.

Regarding the Artist, I honestly don’t know enough about it or what’s ISU has described as a musical but there were definitely teams who got away with it last year so I don’t imagine anyone will do anything about it.

 

[Gris]

I thought about the music requirement violation too but just found out that last season Italian junior couple Portesi Peroni / Chrastecky used the soundtrack from The Artist and didn't receive any music related warning in both their JGPs and Junior Worlds so...

 

[Colonel Green]

Yes, the ISU hasn’t enforced the rule. Hence my

At least one team also got away with The Great Gatsby.

Finally a different FD - I'm really looking forward to this. Maybe losing Europeans is what they needed to see where they needed to push out of their comfort zone?

I think more than one team got away with The Mask too.

That the book was adapted into a musical doesn't make the 2013 film a musical by association.

 

[litenkyckling]

Igor really should stop rehashing his former team's programs.

The choices by Gabby and Guillame for this season are just genius!!

Shocking. The least he could do is pick overused warhorses without having had other teams he coached/coaches do them. It’s a very low bar...

 

[mjb52]

Way better choices for P/C imo, looking forward to seeing it.

Sure but maybe there a music piece in both the musical and film that was the same and they got it through, a loophole perhaps. I don't remember the program at all. But can imagine a coach arguing it was legal.

I'm not sure I would call it genius. I also think that's fine as I wouldn´t waste genius on a year like this one, save it for 2022.

You can see the authors of the musical in the video. They aren't the songwriters of Luhrmann film.

You have a point. I wouldn't call this year a season really. More like the world is in a holding pattern of some kind. But it's nice to see them enthusiastic about their dances. Really looking forward to the Artist RD.

Oh, thank God. I was sure it will be sound of mating whales or something like that.

What was the intended FS music? I already forgot.
And back to old SP? I missed that too.
