I love Green and Parsons free dance. Really unique and mesmerizing. A beautiful modern lyrical piece.

I also liked Green and Parsons. Looking forward to seeing it again.

They're smart. Experiment now when no Olys berth is at stake (as hopefully it will be in four years) and show that they can do a variety of styles. I'm again blown away by Green's mature affect given her age. And love it or hate it, it's the FD people talked most about during and after the comp.

This was an absolutely brilliant free dance performed brilliantly. I can't remember ever being so drawn to a performance by an American team, and they are so young!

SPARKLE ALL AROUND!!!

I truly, sincerely hope they are able to climb the ranks right up to the top ASAP!

Choreographed by Elena Novak and Alexei Kiliakov, the main WISA coaches.

Good for Elena and Alexei! Nice to see them try something different with Green/Parsons. They are still learning the business of packaging senior teams and this particular FD will be noticed. Why then did they give Lorraine and Anton Phantom?

This is from my LPIDI article which includes a section about Caroline and Michael's involvement with their choreography. "Caroline Green & Michael Parsons (USA) shared their thoughts on the free dance selection. The team wanted to dance a completely different style than they had ever done before. Since they took on more responsibility for their own choreography, they had more freedom to create a program that was a piece of them and something no other team could do. They were pleased with how they created movement and style that hadn’t been done before. They took a lot of inspiration from off the ice, especially Martha Graham’s modern dance choreography. One of their coaches, Jimmie Manners, is a classically trained dancer and knew where to plug in those moves. The result is a much more artistic program than what they’re used to doing."
