GPdF 2025 PBP - Rhythm Dance: “Rock Around The Cock”

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I’m not getting the costume reference. Mondrian with white boots was 60s. Did it make a sudden comeback in the 90s that I didn’t notice?

Maybe it's supposed to be a nod to the 1990s Austin Powers aesthetic?

And the socks seem 80s to me.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Such a bizarre season where there is a ton of speeding up tempo to meet the requirements. Usually teams are painfully slowing down songs to make them skateable.

 

[Skaterbob]

I don't mind this program. She looks like a different person with that makeup and outfit.

 

[Firedancer]

Her costume makes no sense. And the music cuts are terrible.

 

[Private Citizen]

Hated the costumes. Loved the first minute to 90 seconds where they captured the mood and movement of the 90s so well. Then it devolved into too many music cuts and got very slow. I think it can bring the house down in Milan but they need to fix the second half and really speed it up.

 

[beepbeep]

Most of these choreographers did not party in the 90s and it shows.

Coach: Barbara Fusar Poli, Roberto Pelizzola
Music: Backstreet Boys Selection

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4 - Marco looking a little unstable on the 2nd twizzle
Straight Line Lift 4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:3
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

This program just does not work for them. They are just not cheerleaders, and they should have gone with something that was slower, and smoother fitting their skating quality better.

77.25 = 4th Place

 

[Wyliefan]

Well, they had fun with it, so good for them!

 

[Hedwig]

one thing is for sure - I would love to have the emotional and other support of Barbara in my life when I go out to perform. So invested in her team.

 

[Karen-W]

I wanted to enjoy that from GuigFab but it just felt a bit under-cooked - especially in the choreo sequence to end. The lift was probably the most exciting and interesting element in the program.

G/F

Backstreet Boys, the socks look more 70s to me, smooth skating with actual edges, good rhythmic movement, needs more panache to fully pull off theme

 

[PRlady]

Yes it matters what you give those two, Chris, but all of us who hoped for a standout program can sigh and have more coffee.

 

[thvu]

I can't emphasize enough how terrible this program is. Just so so so bad.

 

[peibeck]

I CANNOT with these tube socks.

Well skated for the Italians but not their usual connection with each other that I enjoy so much.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Difficult entry into the twizzles, other issues notwithstanding.

The two stringy bangs in the front with a pony is sadly very 90s

 

[tony]

I can't emphasize enough how terrible this program is. Just so so so bad.

You'd think Barbara had been a mainstay of the gay clubz in her peak years. Nope.

 

[allezfred]

Thank god for some semblance of fair judging even if Davis and Smolkin should also be ahead of FB&C

[Aceon6]

they should have gone with something that was slower, and smoother fitting their skating quality better.

Unfortunately, the ISU decided that there was a minimum beats per minute and anything slower is a music violation.

 

[Hedwig]

wow

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Major dumpage

 

[shan]

Ouch

 

[Private Citizen]

Whoa. Dumped. But it got really shaky after the first minute.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Don’t run into Charlene in the parking lot today

 

[thvu]

The step quality doesn't matter when you're just waiting for the program to be over as fast as possible. We were worried about Guignard & Fabbri being dumped, but this program choice and choreography is dumping them more than politiks.

 

[Karen-W]

Damn - behind DavSmo!

 

[tony]

Those PCS are the nail in the coffin. Withdraw from the next GP, redo this program and PRAY that the next one is well-accepted.

They hold on to programs way too long when the messages are there.

 

[skatingguy]

Alarm bells should be ringing loud, and clear with that score.

 

[Debbie S]

Ouch. Dumped even before the Olys.

 

[peibeck]

I'm think roller derby
