I certainly like the programs this year better than the last couple of years. And I agree about the lyrical==I am so glad they didn't take that route.
... Part of that was due to a twizzle error committed by Bates at the Rostelecom Cup that cost them several points in their free dance, choreographed by Christopher Dean to "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen.
"I was upset with myself at the time, but that was a small mistake in the scheme of the season," Bates said. "We had a lot of great moments. We won the free dance (over Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir) at Skate Canada, and that created buzz."
...
"We worked on adding more expression, sharpening a couple of little things in the side-by-side steps and adjusting the pattern in the blues," Chock said. "We're keeping our arms down a bit (in the step sequence) and doing things to make the choreography pop more. We're happy we had the time to do that, to keep it new and fresh."
I hope they can finally get a good short dance draw this season!!
ROTFLThey drew first again. You have GOT to be kidding me.

I am hoping that they lay it down, HARD.

No changes to elements or music, but calmer choreo in middle of program to make story more readable. 2/2

Speed is not their problem as they are for all intents and purposes already one of the fastest teamsI so appreciated their attack at SC! If they can add more speed to both programs, they're going to be real contenders.
