Finlandia Trophy 2025 Rhythm Dance "I Really, Really, Really Wanna Zingas"

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wow. That's the first time I really hate a Cizeron's program.
Absolutely loathed it.
She was nonexistent even with Sorensen, and here she's not even a prop. And Guillaume enjoys wearing stockings a bit too much.

 

[Sally1214]

Oooooh .... no one in that K/C right now is happy. Some STRICT calling. This event just got more interesting ....

 

[MacMadame]

Did they fix their bad calling on the elements? I couldn't understand what Mark said about it.

 

[Braulio]

79.89

clearly we are not in France and all the ice dance couples have skated in the Grand Prix

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Opera gloves on men - that would be a big no. Not even Adam R. tried that one.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Rettstatt went to town.

Can he go to a town that has real dance rhythms?

 

[thvu]

Is the tech panel trying to say you can't do choreo along the center axis without risking it being called a Choreo step???

 

[slicekw]

Phoebe Becker in this dress is a revelation.

What is your question?

 

[Colonel Green]

Funkytown, here we come!

 

[MacMadame]

What is your question?

Did they fix the bad call on the Choreo Seq or are they still calling their opening "stuff" as an element?

 

[MsZem]

Phoebe Becker in this dress is a revelation.

It is killer, just like the song!

 

[thvu]

I need to see this protocol already.

 

[Allen]

This isn't my favorite RD, but I don't mind it as much as others seem to.

 

[Debbie S]

Yeah, I'm confused

 

[MacMadame]

I need to see this protocol already.

we all do.

 

[floridaice]

how is Bekker/Hernandez's speed and ice coverage?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK, so what is the real problem with the French? I mean they got a seasons best …..I’m sure they’re probably either in first place or second after the rhythm dance, so what’s the issue really…. the levels came down on other stuff

 

[peibeck]

 

[PRlady]

Yikes the panel ate nails for breakfast. Basic on pattern? 2 on twizzles?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I love Bekker and Hernandez's RD but I'm sad that they couldn't skate to Bittersweet Symphony due to the stupid rules.

 

[skatingguy]

Phebe Bekker/James Hernandez
Coach: N. Buckland, P. Coomes, Z. Palagina
Music: Freedom, Killer by George Michael

Sequential Twizzles W:2 M:2 (W:2 M:4 after review) - Phebe with a rotation break on the 2nd twizzle
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:2
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence B
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence !

Still one of the most entertaining rhythm dances of the season, but probably not the technical performance that Phebe & James will have wanted. Still a great opportunity to perform on the Grand Prix twice this season, and start to build their reputation with the judges.

62.87 = 3rd Place

 

[skategal]

Love me some George Michael. This was good too.

 

[peibeck]

Phoebe Becker in this dress is a revelation.

No offense to beautiful Phoebe, but James gets all my attention.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I honestly enjoy B/H but after Cizeron that felt like such a nosedive....

I really like this lineup of couples.
I have a feeling I am going to be bitterly disappointed today.

 

[genevieve]

Brits are fun. Setting fire to his jacket would have made it legendary

 

[MacMadame]

It's weird seeing my name on the boards.

 

[thvu]

Choreographic Rhythm Sequence
Minimum Requirement to be Confirmed:
"Both partners perform steps around the short axis and must proceed from barrier to barrier"

FB&C never start at the opposite barrier. This tech panel is insane.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I know I'm the only one in the world, but like the cute little Browns.

He sat in the seat in front of me for a good part of the non-dance competitions. I had my chance. Sigh.
