Carreira/Ponomarenko Need a Cheer Thread

The thing I think won't change is the 1 ft to start because it's fast and reliable and they can get the levels on it. I hope the twizzles don't change because I think they are fabulous with that hop in the middle. I like the choreo seq ok, but I imagine it will get adjusted some as time goes on. Tbh they could change all the lifts lol but I kind of doubt they will because lifts aren't really their thing. I hope the midline step and choreographic slides stays exactly the same. Those are stunning. Ending needs to be smoothed out.

Do not ask me how many times I have watched this to form this opinion.

I've now watched this a few more times on a bigger screen... I like all the steps (but see them getting more flourishes as per their usual trajectory), also like the twizzles. Agree that the choreo steps will develop (I'm imagining different every time out tbh). I would alter the slide a bit - love the spread eagles - lets make them a longer moment? Scrap the choreo lift - feels a bit too similar to the curve lift.

I can't explain why but I just feel like those lifts could be placeholder? They've worked so hard this quad and every FD has featured a new lift (Summertime headstand curve lift, Perfume curve lift, Carmen straight line lift, edited rotational and edited curve lift.) They also had a new rotational exit in Batdance and a new (not that successful) stationary in Wicked Game. They also clearly put a lot of thought into the Lacrimosa FD... While lifts aren't their strength, they've put a lot of energy into getting better ones. They way that the NDDP lifts are placed exactly like Carmen makes this feel like a newly formed FD and so therefore, purely based on vibes, I think we'll see different lifts come the Nationals edition of this FD.

All in good time, it isn't soup yet, but it's already tasty. Scott is a brilliant coach.
