Sequential Twizzles W:1 M:3
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:2
Rhumba 1st Sec B + kpNNNN
Quickstep 1st Sec B + kpNNNT (kpNNNN after review)
Rotational Lift 4

The skating skills are lacking, and the performance was very in, and out depending on whether they were skating, or standing still.

46.24 = 9th Place

Quickstep 1st Sec B + kpNNNT (kpNNNN after review)
Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1

A struggle with the patterns, and lacking speed across the ice in the twizzles.

47.43 = 8th Place

Diagonal Step Sequence W:1 M:1 (W:1 M:2 after review)
Rhumba 1st Sec 2 + kpNNYY
Quickstep 1st Sec 1 + kpNNYN
Rotational Lift 4

I think they need to spend some time watching the music videos for these songs to get a better sense of the performance they need. The skating seemed a bit cautious, and safe, particularly in the patterns.

49.29 = 7th Place

Quickstep 1st Sec 2 + kpNNYY
Sequential Twizzles W:3 M:4
Midline Step Sequence W:2 M:2 (W:1 M:2 after review)
Rotational Lift 4

I think I'm looking for more detail, and depth of performance to take this from a standard latin program, and make it a 90's program.

56.05 = 4th Place

 

[skatingguy]

3rd Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5rlmG9bj-c

Nice incorporation of the choreography from the original music videos in the program.

Quickstep 1st Sec B + kpNNTT
Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4

This has me from the first 15 seconds of their choreography, and didn't let go until they hit their final pose. They used the original choreography, and found ways to incorporate it into the elements.

Yin/Yang

Nice quick step level! Energetic performance

That is a very tao ish name

 

[kwanfan1818]

Loved how the Carandiuc's changed from straight leg into attitude in the middle of the first twizzles. He can also move his torso, which I never expect from men dressed in layers.

Still love Hienne/Varescon. (I always wonder if a new team is as good as I remember.) I hope they last through the grinder of FRA politiks.

Aboian/Veselukhin's RD. I suspect I'll like this as much or more than my favorite Senior RD's. I don't know how Veselukhin combines style and elegance like that, but, wow.

I'm not sure who thought Deych should choose to dance Latin anything, when there's a choice.

It wasn't that Yamashita/Nagata were off beat, but they missed the groove in their music. He did try in parts of their non-touch steps, but it didn't sustain. I loved her open hip first position in the rotational lift.

Hanretty and Barton were talking about how the lift was predictably the last element. Hanretty said he was texted by a coach, who said that because the two patterns each take up a specific amount of time, it's easier to fit the lift at the end.

I really like Yin/Yang: they attacked that and danced to their music. I wish more streamlined costumes for them and a smoother entrance to their lift. (((His neck))).

Hanretty said that Reverchon/di Muzio are still Novice age-eligible, but she has senior movement quality: so much clarity, and she kept performing, despite the errors. (I don't know about him, because I couldn't take my eyes off her.)

Last year, it seemed like all of the junior teams were Arribert's, and Lyon seemed to be on life support, but that seems to have changed.

Anderson and Dawson's energy and movement quality is so well-matched. I love watching them. Her leg position in the last twizzle was so Hubbell.

[her grace]

Deych/Hu

one foot turns that were very close together, I'd review the twizzles, his second set looked a bit off, nice unison and classic look, nice rotational lift, little fist pump from her right after ending pose

 

[her grace]

I feel for Deych/Hu having to face a strong American team at both their events (Robertson/Rohnner and A/V). As a top 4 jr team from the U.S., you'd think they would have gotten to anchor at least one of the JGPs and be sent with a weaker teammate. To be fair to USFS, perhaps Robertson/Rohner was supposed to be that teammate, but it seemed obvious after the summer, that that wasn't going to be the case.

 

[her grace]

Hienne/Varescon

Lovely setting of a mood, nice carriage and extension, could add more clarity to lift positions, struggling on twizzles yet again.

 

[her grace]

Anderson/Dawson

nice edgework through the one foot turns-his looked a bit stronger and he got the higher call (1 & 2), twizzles okay, you really wouldn't know they are a newer team with the way they skate together. Smooth yet used tension quite well, too. Well done

 

[her grace]

Aboian/Veselukhin

doing a Neset/Markelov tribute program (in look and opening choreo spin movement if not in the use of the same song), open skating, steady lifts which are covering a good amount of ice, edge quality noticeably not as strong as Canadians in their basic skating, got out of sync on twizzles, but completed, lovely flexibility in the dance spin, performing with gusto

 

[her grace]

No movement in top 4, but great skating from all

[Wyliefan]

That was spectacular from Abo/Ves. I applauded right here in my room. It was remarkable how much speed and freedom they skated with, after having looked a little slow and cautious in the RD, especially the patterns.

(Of course, if patterns are their weakness, they ought to do GREAT in seniors. )

Tasha Shin Hui Lai/Gabriel Liu
Age: 17/18
Coach: Megan Wing, Aaron Lowe
Music: All I Want by Olivia Rodrigo

Dance Spin 4
Straight Line Lift 4
Diagonal Step Sequence W:1 M:1 - separation after the twizzles
One Foot Turns W:1 M:1
Synchronized Twizzles W:3 M:4 (W:2 M:3 after review) - Gabriel spun the 2nd twizzle
Choreo Character Step Sequence
Rotational Lift 4 (3 after review)
Choreo Assisted Jump/Lifting Movement !

Age appropriate ice dance choreography - novel idea. The skating was a little rough in places, and that's reflected in the GOE. Nice performance level from both.

66.14 = 11th Place
107.95 = 10th Place

9th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B3iI7cZUgQ

Charming performance, but still lacking something to make it feel authentic to the original.

72.25 = 9th Place
121.54 = 9th Place

Curve Lift 4 + Rotational Lift 4
Dance Spin 2
Diagonal Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Choreo Character Step Sequence
Choreo Dance Lift

A struggle with this performance to find a level of comfort on the ice. The skating skills are not strong enough, and so many of the connecting steps are more basic compared to other teams.

75.81 = 6th Place
122.05 = 8th Place

7th Place - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iGqJThnOIw

Choreo Character Step Sequence !

The rare gender-bending lift in the choreo character step sequence was a nice feature. I enjoy the quality of skating from Japanese skaters no matter the discipline. The skating generally has a nice flow, and clean, effortless speed.

-1.00 = Extended Lifts

75.19 = 7th Place
122.62 = 7th Place

Stationary Lift 4 (3 after review)

Not the same impact as when they competed at home in Türkiye. Skating skills are a bit lacking, and performance was a bit flat.

74.69 = 8th Place
128.37 = 6th Place
