Waltzing to the FINNish line!

Green and Parsons are a talented couple. Their skating skills are very good. A choreographer who can emphasize their strengths and keep the program moving out (they have speed when the choreography doesn't slow them down) is what they need. Over the shoulder lifts will never look good on this...

This poster gives quite a lengthy summary of the book and Guillaume's response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmB8C9yNpx0

On a happier note, Gabriella is launching a dance performance tour (14 cities in the US, none near me sadly) entitled Seasons. Cast includes The Browns, Rohene Ward, Alissa Czisny and more. Info at www.icedanceinternational.org.

Has anyone heard anything about a definite schedule for a shuttle to Centenne from downtown or the arena? They asked me where I was staying, but never heard anything else. It seems a little late.

Received an email yesterday asking what hotel we were staying at to help plan a route for the shuttle to the Centenne ice rink. Things are coming together, though it sure seems like last minute planning!

Annisina and Peizerat's Romeo and Juliet was a choreographic masterpiece with 5 short lifts (some by her which we loved). No twizzles, no slides, no designated choreo step sequence on the short axis - IJS has not made ice dance better.

Has anyone heard anything more about a shuttle being offered to the Centene Ice Center to watch the novice and junior competitions?

It takes a LONG time to perfect an ice dancer. Kolesnick has been under Spilband's tutelage for almost 10 years! Benoit is not my favorite choreographer, but he does interpret music differently. Thankfully, Zingas and Kolesnick's free is not a lovey-dovey Romeo and Juliet, and uses the strong...

I really liked this episode. Thomas is getting more aggressive and speaking more and initiating the conversation more, so the back and forth clicks. Thomas and Tony talk so fast! Reminds me of the song Non Stop from Hamilton. Why do you write like you're running out of time?

He's just the bull. She's everything else: the matador, the cape, the sword, the star of the arena! He'll probably just snort, toss her in the air a few times and then die on the ice. Just kidding. I think the concept and the music is fabulous for them. I'm so looking forward to this drama...

Shae-Lynn has definitely found her niche in choreographing for single skaters. I don't recall her ever working with ice dance choreography other than for herself and Victor. :rolleyes:

Lewis should pay good money to retrieve John's outfit from whatever "Skating Outfit Hall of Fame" it is located! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZFupPQrc5o

Such a missed opportunity that Lewis did not embrace a kilt.😥

Judy is very tough, but fair across the board. I say "Bring it on!" If the dancers commit errors, now is the time to know and they can fix it before the end of the season. However, as we have come to learn, GOE can make lower levels insignificant.
