It's not La la land for Chock/Bates, it's Imagine !

 

[CassAgain]

I guess I could revise my vote after I see Chock and Bates, but among the rest, Hubbell and Donohue by a mile—not just for this year, but for the quad.

Ok but i can't change it in the poll.

 

[briancoogaert]

Actually, my favorite is Papadakis and Cizeron, especially the beginning. I hope the second part will improve.
And I really like Guignard and Fabri's FD to Muse. Very interesting and passionate.

 

[Anyasnake]

You can't change the poll at all ? Because I know a lot of people liked Guignard/Fabbri despite having them as their favourite team.

EDIT : Bobrova/Soloviev is Oblivion - Five Secret (No tango).

1- The italians were 11th at the last WC.
2- Oblivion from Piazzola is a Tango.

Enjoy most of the Free Dances this season but wanted to mention the Danes as they aren't one of the top teams but I really loved their flamenco

1-I know they were 11th, but you can't do more than 10 options in the post ? Or you wanted to do top 10 only ?
2-Since it was by 2 cellos, I didn't get the Tango reference (since the FD isn't a tango). Sorry

 

[Braulio]

How is the horrible program from Stepanova/Bukin on this list but the one of another couples like Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen or even Hurtado/Khaliavin is not?

 

[nuge]

I'm liking a lot of them this year.
V/M P/C H/D and S/B

 

[Coquelicot14]

Also have several faves this year, hard to pick just one: P&C, C&L and S&B.

 

[Braulio]

Even Coomes/Buckland can be on this list before S/B Liebestrauma

I would prefer to vote for Imagine (without having seen it) than voting for that Liebestraum. And they already have 1 vote while B/S or G/P have none .

 

[casken]

None. Ice dance is a creative wasteland.

 

[chapis]

None. Ice dance is a creative wasteland.

Well at least are better that all recycles in ladies and men IMO. And I am not impressed by pairs this season except S/M (LP) and P/J (LP)

 

[marbri]

Premature poll considering Chock / Bates haven't even debuted yet.

 

[VGThuy]

I think I'm going to wait until after the entire GP series to vote for this just because FDs can change and teams can do them better as the season progresses. Plus, we haven't seen Chock/Bates yet. That said, as of right now, I think Hubbell/Donohue have my favorite FD of the season so far. I also love Muramoto/Reed's FD. I do think V/M have a program that fits them and is OGM-worthy as do Papadakis/Cizeron.

 

[jbuckbee]

Hubbell and Donohue have the best FD, IMO

 

[RoseRed]

Tessa and Scott's Moulin Rouge is my favourite- the lifts, ending the twizzles right on "Roxanne!" And those head movements right afterwards, the expression throughout. I love it and I can't wait to see where they take it. It's grown so much from Autumn Classic already.

My second favourite FD is currently Madi and Zach's. It suits them so well. I also liked Je Suis Malade for Weapo.

 

[blue_idealist]

I voted for V/M but I haven't seen Chock/Bates yet and I've only seen C/L once.

COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!!

I am a fan of that team. That neck roll with the pony tail during the circular steps and that opening stationary lift in their Woman free. I was sold.

Am waiting also but agree about Hubbell/Donohue. That FD suits them amazingly well, and Madi is an absolute star in it.

I feel people praising H&D's plodding FD kind of demonstrates my point.

I'm actually surprised you don't like H/D. They seem to have what you like in ice dance, nice ice coverage, speed, deep edges, clean steps/turns, and attention to music. They also certainly don't have that Igor/Marina choreography.

What?????

Interesting. I love their FD. It really stands out to me as unique. I was quite piqued by it even in their 1st outing. We're a funny lot in this thread, haha.

 

[Anyasnake]

Since Chock/Bates skated their FD, update your votes if you want to.

 

[Areski]

Undecided yet.
