Based on the reactions everyone has had to this 90s theme and with a nod to the Browns, I hoped it was a suitable title.

I thought it was a reference to GreenP...

It is a great title, regardless of who it is referencing.

There are so many people doing the same music, it all runs together in my head. I remembered some US team was doing "Groove is in the Heart." Considering how little sleep I've had this week between work and getting to the arena, I consider that a win.

Ashley is baaack Ugh. I hope she lets Ben talk since he was an ice dancer.

 

[her grace]

Go USA ice dance!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I have peacock, but if anyone is able to find a feed, do share for those who don't.

 

[her grace]

Wait, Is Rusty back? If so, y’all in the arena have my condolences

 

[Braulio]

From Denmark to Spain to the USA Linus Colmor Jepsen

The Allison Reed of the male ice dancers

 

[Matryeshka]

I'll get to see the warmup and maybe two teams before job #2!! SPIRIDONOV? SERIOUSLY?!!!

I'm not a fan of the ShibSibs comeback BUT they had one of the few RDs that worked both with the theme and as a competitive program and I'm not really sure why they changed that portion instead of the FD.

I love Flores/Jepsen’s program. It’s so full of unexpected curves and difficult edge changes and I love the vibe. I didn’t expect to think anything about it or them

Compared to the amateurs they had at worlds, this is a blessing.

Maddie Hubbell looking fabulous by the boards with Scott Moir.

So far Ben’s doing most of the talking

Judge feedback.

Seemed quite quiet when the Shibs were introduced

they changed the rhythm dance

Ben saying that the Shibs are really gunning for the 3rd Olympic spot.

I mean, they might be aiming, but they aren't hitting.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That's exactly what Matry said.

 

[tony]

Also Jonathan Rogers. Right up there with the best of the US male dancers IMO and Quite acceptable to look at in general

Ben, they can also they aim for the stars but are not going to reach them

Maddie Hubbell looking fabulous by the boards with Scott Moir.

Honestly when does she look anything but? (At least off the ice. Some of her costumes were less than fabulous back in the day)

 

[KCC]

Seems like silver halter tops are part of this year's costume choice.

 

[Karen-W]

Made it just in time for the start of the warm-up and am now sat and ready for the RD!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I must have slept through the part of the 90s where people wore just the back of a skirt.

Also Jonathan Rogers. Right up there with the best of the US male dancers IMO and Quite acceptable to look at in general

he has the looks factor and ice dance presence you expect from an ice dancer guy

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The music is too loud to hear the commentary.

No one tell anyone.

 

[MacMadame]

How long has this team been skating together?

Flores/Jepsen

Really nice sense of musical timing, twizzles not particularly fast but executed well, pattern dance was just there, nice rotational lift, they look happy
