How is the attendance? From the shot on E! during the break, it looked fairly empty.

I like Bekker/Hernandez' music choice. And costumes. Everything is surpisingly tasteful

I liked them. Sure, not super fast but very smooth and good unison. It was very enjoyable.

Alicia's costume does her no favors. At all.

A polite request to avoid comments about costumes & bodies in the thread. You don't know who might be watching and be hurt by them.

 

[marmalade]

I am mildly intrigued by being able to listen to Gabby. Are Johnny or Tara also there?

Tara sits out Dance. Thankfully.

 

[Wyliefan]

I liked that. They brought the perk.

 

[Kasey]

This is actually my first time watching RDs this year. Bakker/Hernandez weren’t bad although the music mashup was interesting

 

[kwanfan1818]

I love the fabric for Bekker's dress.

 

[Braulio]

Decent debut for them at the Senior Grand Prix circuit

 

[~tapdancer~]

o my gosh...can they SHUT UP? I enjoyed that from Bekker/Hernandez, what I could hear of it.

 

[slicekw]

Bekker/Hernandez were very enjoyable. May not be highest level skaters here, but the look and energy were really great.

Phebe Bekker/James Hernandez
Coach: N. Buckland, P. Coomes, Z.Palagina
Music: Freedom, Killer by George Michael

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 3 (1 after review)
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

Maybe I've been watching too many of these rhythm dances this season, but that was pretty good. Looked like they had good speed, and attacked the performance, and James may be the most beautiful man in ice dance so why not highlight him.

66.81 = 1st Place

I guess that's pretty good considering it's the first group. Thanks!

 

[Sally1214]

Loved Phebe and James' music. I know it was the club remix but I really enjoy George Michael's music. Phebe and James are such a good-looking couple. That should count for an extra point in PCS, no?

Bekker/Hernandez have good 90s music and perform well. Don't love the stiffness of his jacket, breaks up their line.

I don’t think commenting on costumes is hurtful. I do agree people shouldn’t comment on bodies.

Is her dress referencing something specific? I feel like it must be but I don’t know what.

 

[Sally1214]

Go Alicia and Paul!

 

[Kateri]

Is her dress referencing something specific? I feel like it must be but I don’t know what.

I want to say it's very '90s Versace, but I dunno if it's from anything specific.

I was wondering the same!! Being 9 when the 90s ended is not helping my memory lol

 

[MacMadame]

Speaking of costumes, are there pockets on her pants? Kind of like cargo pants?

 

[TAHbKA]

Fabbri/Ayer's music is a reminder of what I hated in the 90s.
No one took Run Lola Run, no one took Dr. Alban, no one took Rhythm is a dancer... But that crap - sure.

 

[tony]

Love Fabbri/Ayer just wish IAM would move them up from last place in the hierarchy

 

[Kateri]

I actually think a Shaggy RD could have been really fun, but who on earth thought it would be right for THIS team?

 

[barbk]

Alicia and Paul's lift was awesome.

 

[Kasey]

I’m liking Fabbri/Ayer and their energy!

 

[slicekw]

Fabri/Ayer’s outfits gives us a time/place immediately. I kinda wish they’d gone a little further with color and design, but I guess they have to keep things that they work for holds, etc. Well skated, but I liked the Brits better (tho I suspect these guys will score better).

 

[kwanfan1818]

They looked like they'd be fun to dance with.

 

[peibeck]

Fabbri/Ayer between the music and costumes the whole packaging is all kinds of wrong.
