Do we know if Schizas has been injured or anything this summer? She’s been very, very quiet on social media and per Cranberry, not particularly far along in her training. I know it’s early, but that was pretty rough.
That being said, maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t think that West Side Story is a bad choice for her. I think this will be a pretty good program once it is trained.
My one comment would be that the pacing is a bit off in it. I think the music selections up to the end of Maria are good. The I Feel Pretty doesn’t seem to fit though. Too much slow one after the other. Easier said than done I know, but I would rework this to put the footwork earlier and see if I feel Pretty could be scrapped.
I am a sucker for America though and am happy they chose to close with that. If she can keep up the speed, it has some excitement built in with that loop at the end as the music builds.
All in all, I think this has potential to be a stronger choreographic piece than her long was last year. Madame Butterfly served its purpose, but I think this can be better for her.
