2026 Europeans - Free Dance - "Sheffield Whinesday"

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Yeah, so what the heck is that supposed to be on her head?

Perhaps it's the pigeons that the cat was thrown among?

 

[kwanfan1818]

I loved that choreo from Khaliavin. I think it picks up the rhythm of the music. Her toe-point was beautiful in the stationary lift to start, and I liked the circular pattern of the twizzles and that the choreo step, if they had to do it, receded from the judges.

 

[Allen]

I don't mind Exogenisis. This was fine.

 

[Spikefan]

I preferred the Israeli’s version. What is the story for the one glove and hair shellac?

 

[peibeck]

I miss Ricky Martin.

I'm surprised no dancers have chosen his "Evita" soundtrack yet.

 

[Matryeshka]

I do understand why we have so many Ricky Martins (all hail our Lord and Savior, Keeper of the Uno, Dos, Tres). It fits the rhythm requirement, it's familiar, and it's somewhat ballroom adjacent. Probably most of their coaches skated/already choreo'ed a Ricky Maritn-themed program back in the day of the Latin SD or OD, so it's a more comfortable element in a really questionable choice for an RD. But the resurgence of Muse....leave that with P/C. NO ONE benefits from that comparison.

 

[Braulio]

Bah

 

[Nadin]

I/S: ”God Save The Queen (And Joker)”

I vote Michael Jackson tribute +special pigeon poop hair treatment.

 

[tony]

PCS should be way better than the Finns. Skating skills matter. Composition of program matters. Rolling around on the ice can only get you so much presentation score.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I must say, I still chuckle at "Leonidovych"
That's some level 80 trolling.

 

[tony]

I really don’t like this redux Joker program. Another Fusar-Poli camp miss. The ending section goes NOWHERE. Their best material was years ago.

 

[Hanna]

Not sure how many times I've seen the Joker program from the Hungarians but it's still an absolute guilty pleasure every time.

 

[Matryeshka]

Speaking of the Joker, WHERE is my Nutcracker Prince? Now I'm going to spend their entire FD worrying about Litventsev.

 

[Braulio]

and now 1.95 meters of macho Danil Szemko

 

[Allen]

I am excited to see this program again.

Paperwork not done in time.

 

[MsZem]

An Exo, Titanic and 2 R&Js. I miss Ricky Martin.

BRING BACK NEGATIVE REP.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Hi, sorry, @Andrey aka Pushkin is here. What the hell am I watching?

 

[Spikefan]

The anti-Romeo and Juliet.

 

[Allen]

BRING BACK NEGATIVE REP.

Or do what some people used to do back in the day and give positive rep and a negative comment lol

 

[MacMadame]

If you are goign to dye your hair green for a Joker program, it needs to be a lot less subtle than this!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

BRING BACK NEGATIVE REP.

Not buying the Milan ticket for the RD was one of the best decisions of my life.

 

[Hanna]

Flashback to Taljegård

 

[Matryeshka]

Paperwork not done in time.

That's a shame. The way it went, he would have had a decent chance to be in the top group if not outright medal.

This FD is so awful. I'm all about trashy and quirky, but this is just...bad and every time I'm shocked this is Babs.

 

[~tapdancer~]

I don't like this at all. Moving on...

 

[LilJen]

Seems Ignateva’s costumer was so focused on the skirt that they failed to wedgie-proof the trunks…

 

[Braulio]

Program becomes a bit monotonous till the end even though it closes with a high tempo choreo sequence, good but I have them behind Val & Kazimov

 

[kwanfan1818]

Gah, Hungarians' movement quality is so stiff and the transitions so awkward. Did they learn to "dance" from Elaine?

 

[Spikefan]

I need to remember to nominate Szemko for PSOTY next year.
