I haven't been all that interested in skating this season but this is the ONE program I am really interested to see in all its glory. I saw Zach do a run through on his own during that IAM live feed they did dressed in black practice clothes and it really piqued my interest.

Is it a Caribbean-inspired program? Thinking “Yellow bird - high up in banana tree.”

Various South American music styles from the Rio soundtrack. You can hear the music edit here when Lagha did a solo runthrough during the IAM livestream.

Marjorie also posted a costume photo with different angles on the details.

Alicia Fabbri posted some photos from throughout the year that includes looks at the team’s new costumes (the free dance costumes I believe we’ve seen before).

While the *********-19 ********* has made this skating season much more complicated, Team IDC wanted to continue its tradition of highlighting new teams. Jamie Fournier and Anthony Haddad are a new team that will represent Canada.

Getting to Know Fournier & Haddad – Ice-dance.com

www.ice-dance.com

Anthony Haddad placed 7th in Novice at 2019 U.S. Nationals with Kelsey Schaub and they were among the 15 invited Novice teams that competed at the North American Cup in Lake Placid in late July/early August of 2019, placing 11th.

Found this French article about Fournier/Haddad that was published back in June 2020:

Jamie Fournier, de Boucherveille, et l’Américain Anthony Steven Haddad ne s’attendaient pas à être séparés par la fermeture des frontières tout ju...

Translated excerpt:

Only 2 teams competed virtually in the Junior Dance event at Championnats A de la Section Québec. If Fournier/Haddad entered Challenge, the start orders are supposed be posted by Skate Canada the week of January 4, 2021. The Junior/Senior Dance events are scheduled to be streamed on January 16-17, 2021.

... any info on new junior team Marine Pouliot and Cameron Colucci ? They seem to have gone quiet.

Neither new team is listed in the Skate Canada Challenge Junior RD starting order/streaming time sheet for Saturday, January 16 (Senior RD starting order times are listed here too) as of Jan. 4: https://noticeboard.skatecanada.ca/.../Junior-and-Senior-Rhythm-Dance-Timesheet.pdf

ETA: Soucisse/Firus (2020 Nationals bronze) are not listed in the Senior RD time sheet. They were in this Dec. 11th photo:

Shane just posted that they had to miss Challenge because of an injury, but they're now back on track for Nationals. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwE6LBHd61/?igshid=xicqxfz03m6z

Natalie & Bruce posted a free dance practice clip:

Only a few days before we get video of the full performance.

 

[Rafter]

I wonder when that was filmed? Today or weeks ago? Because if it was today I don’t know how they’re allowed to practice at the Cricket. All private clubs in Toronto are closed and we are in lockdown.

No, there is a list of skaters who are allowed to train under the elite athlete clause. However this was probably done right when Battle of Blades was taped as a Jordan was at Cricket then and it kind of looks like they used the moving camera.

At least they're keeping their spirits up over at Scarboro! https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ8nhuZrA5d/?igshid=1dbn5wojfw48x

I still completely love Fournier Baudry/Sorensen's twizzle sequence. And also like the beret as part of her costume.

Best program ever :

The rest of the final flight of the junior FD:

Best program ever :

YES!!

I'm so glad you uploaded this one - I'm going to share it with my co-workers who don't watch skating, but I think they're going to love it.

I hope they keep this program for next year; everyone needs to watch it. It would be such a shame if the only people who ever saw it were the few people who watched Challenge.

And now, somewhat delayed, our top six senior free dances (skate order):

[yurokis40]

Very impressed with the free dances of G&P and L&L yesterday, the Canuck Danes not so much I am still scaching my head on how they were able to beat L&L in the fd and i am not just talking about the 2 big mistakes it seems they got a gift protocol judging at its finest. That fd needs work I wasn`t impressed with their buble fd last year either I feel they are overrated they get a pass because of their asthetic and height.

 

[Wyliefan]

Thanks, @Colonel Green, I hadn't gone searching for Piper and Paul's FD yet, so you saved me a step. What a beautiful performance.

 

[puglover]

So very beautiful from Piper and Paul. I was on a conference call just as they skated and missed it and so thanks for posting it here. I feel like we have really gotten to know them as people these last few years and so everything they do seems even more special and authentic as it reflects the great people they are.
