2026 US Nationals Rhythm Dance "Groove Is In the Snark"

[Allen]

I liked that program. Of course, I was a techno kid in the 90s (still am).

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I bet if this program met an international panel, they would have gotten told it "didn't read".

 

[Matryeshka]

Flores channeling Courtney Love Goes Through the Matrix. As it went on, I got more into it.

 

[peibeck]

F/J interesting movement but the pattern seems so out of place with the rest of the choreography to me. Tons on energy.

 

[Karen-W]

Not sure how FlorJep's program screamed '90s dance party, but whatever.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Got back from the gym just in time however, M&Ms have been consumed….

 

[PRlady]

How long has this team been skating together?

Less than a year. And I’ll tell you, I saw them in Lake Placid in July and they are 1000% better.

 

[Braulio]

Loved the opening sequence, good pattern, he singing while skating, nice edges and flow, this program feels different than what we have seen all season long and I can thank them for going other route with the musical choice, composition and voidy choreo moments

 

[Karen-W]

I bet if this program met an international panel, they would have gotten told it "didn't read".

Well, they did have two late fall international assignments - either Warsaw or Tallinn Trophy and then Santa Claus Cup, IIRC.

Wow so much better, I wasn’t scrutinizing his edges but they are light years ahead of where they were in July. Nice job.

 

[Allen]

Yay, Nirvana...yes, I am old and I love 90s music lol

 

[MacMadame]

Not sure how FlorJep's program screamed '90s dance party, but whatever.

Which is why it was so enjoyable.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I like the choice of Nirvana. His pants don't fit.

 

[MacMadame]

I know they have been together less than a year. I was wondering how much less.

 

[Karen-W]

So, my comments will be limited for a little while. Bandit is demanding some "mom" time and cuddling. At least it's happening now rather than when CarPon are on the ice!

 

[SidelineSkater]

If the Free Dance thread title hasn’t been selected. Can I suggest Old Play? I know Scoldplay was used on the GP and mine isn’t original. But amused me anyway.

 

[Allen]

I like the choice of Nirvana. His pants don't fit.

Which is also very 90s, so positive GOE there lol

 

[Citlali]

Left my husband working alone and rushed home...

Then I remembered the theme, I don't know how I keep forgetting it, it is like my brain blocks the memory to protect me

 

[peibeck]

P/S are giving me Cathy/Salius vibes with this program.

 

[BittyBug]

Hard no to the techno remake of Come as Your Are at the end.

I was thinking Smells like Teen Twizzles

 

[skipaway]

I like the choice of Nirvana. His pants don't fit.

Ran out of money and had to use a horrible cover at the end

 

[Rob]

I can barely hear Ben. Anyone else or is it my TV?

 

[Debbie S]

Covers/AI of Nirvana need to be banned. That is all.

 

[slicekw]

I kinda liked the Nirvana skate.

 

[SidelineSkater]

P/S are giving me Allison/Salius vibes with this program.

Is plaid a grunge motif? Or are they giving a nod to their Scottish heritage?

Fixed it to Allison.

 

[MacMadame]

I can barely hear Ben. Anyone else or is it my TV?

I can't either. But I'm okay with that since it means I can't hear any commentary.

 

[Braulio]

I like Nirvana but I don't think it made match with the assignment

Problems for her with the twizzles, overall I didnt get the look of a couple I got from Flores/Jepsen before

 

[Allen]

Groove is in the Snark is perfection! That is my favorite song. My grandfather bought me that cassette single when I was 10 and we would dance to it in the kitchen while my mother cooked dinner and we "assisted."

Yes.
