Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin
RD: "Sparkling Diamonds" from the movie "Moulin Rouge"

Короткий танец Степановой и Букина на следующий сезон поставлен под музыку из фильма "Мулен Руж!"

Вице-чемпионы Европы Александра Степанова и Иван Букин рассказали "СЭ", под какую музыку поставлен их ритм-танец будущего сезона.

OK.... why?

 

[VGThuy]

OK.... why?

Because it's probably less of a challenge for them than if they were to do a more classical Broadway/musical piece that forced them to dance in a different style.

* Updated

Sounds good! Am eager to see it!

Also very excited about Stepanova/Bukin’s rhythm dance - it’s a less used piece of music from the movie, and it was one of my dream programs for them!
This pic of them reminds me very strongly of Moulin Rouge. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtK17hjA3E1/

I know it will suit them well, style and rhythm... (but i can't stand this piece, the sound, it's ear-disturbing to me, and they are one of my favorite teams.... . good luck to them, anyway...)

Praying this will finally bring out some personality from him

Matteo is cute to look at and he has a sweet personality (check out his interviews). He has a clean, precise style that is rather engaging, at least for me. He usually gets the job done, and he also has a good sense for the music. Sure, he could project more, and he still has time for growth. Maybe this new selection will be helpful for him, in the performance growth direction.

 

[Dobre]

OK.... why?

Seeing as it's Averbuch, it could have been Jesus Christ Superstar. So . . . there's that.

 

[Bigbird]

OK.... why?

I had the same question...why? Really?

Have they ever chosen music that doesn't grate your ears? The year they do, I will be shocked and amazed. Nomal, normal S/B.

 

[Tinami Amori]

well, Stepanova/Bukin's movements may compensate for the music..

Well the costumes of course will be very glamourous. Oh come on Dima and Lena, get together in a pair and spare us the misery. Pretty please?

I wonder what they have for their FD. I am so afraid to even guess.

EDIT: They could have chosen anything and they chose this? Is this the same tune that B/S used for their Olympic SD in 2014? Is it?

Awesome choice! The Cloud Atlas OST has stunning pieces on it and is not used often.
I only can recall Pavlyuchenko/Khodykin right now; some others?

 

[RoseRed]

I agree with @VIETgrlTerifa that Sparkling Diamonds is not S/B challenging themselves at all, but I do think it will suit them well.

And the Cloud Atlas soundtrack is beautiful, so I'm looking forward to that.

Perfect choice!

It’s amazing how well Madi Hubbell matches with that song and Megan Hilty.

Stunning choices!
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is my all time favorite Miki program and such good music.
My expectations for both programs are so damn high! Go for it Pulkinen!

 

[Marco]

Absolutely love Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Too bad she wasn't quite on form that season and wore an unattractive dress in Turin.

 

[Coco]

LOL @Marco I was just thinking about that dress this am.

Uh, oh. You know what happens when you set those expectations that high.

I know
It's not a year since I was excited for WSS and see what happened

Well, it WAS a good program. If he just could have stayed upright during it . . .

Camden simply never connected with either the music or the theme of West Side Story. I suspected that throughout the season. And in an interview a couple of months ago, Camden confirmed he never felt comfortable with e program, but he didn't blame anyone but himself.

Well, it WAS a good program. If he just could have stayed upright during it . . .

Not really that simple when you struggle to be comfortable with a program you don't like, but can't ditch because you are gung ho trying to make it work after the money and effort put into it.
