A whole new version of Elf on the Shelf.

It reminds me of chaperoning the kids for my nieces' youth group at their annual convention. About 16-18 years ago (my how time flies!) when older niece was a member someone brought a life-size cardboard cow cutout that would randomly appear outside various attendees' hotel room doors. Just good, clean fun that gave everyone a good laugh.

During yesterday’s dance practice, while Jean-Luc was in the booth, Jackie thanked him for posting both of their 23-24 programs on social. I’ve looked, and cannot find the RD. Can someone help me with a link?

U.S. Ice Dance 2023-24 news & updates

My mom & I called ice dancing the “simpler” discipline. I don't know that I would publicly admit that. While it didn't have the complex lifts and balance moves it currently has, ice dance was never simple. It always emphasized choreography, edgework and musicality.

That's just crazy! The Pairs FS title is, once again, prescient.

Jackie Wong is on the practice feed with men’s practice. He is going to talk to Gracie and Jason

Xie is having a time out there

It's clear that Gracie has been coaching because she has some very technical insights into the sound of jumps, lightness of a pick, etc. It's very interesting, although sometimes a bit over my head.

I swear that announcer just called out Timothy Hiwatashi

Gracie Gold loving on Torgy's basic skating. She loves the sound.

 

[Rukia]

Gracie is 100% correct Torgy has the best sounding blades if you get a chance to watch him practice do it. His blades rip in the most gorgeous way possible.

 

[Rukia]

I didn't recognize Ilia with his fluffy hair hahaha it's been a day

 

[Rukia]

Gracie and Jackie thing Torgy was underscored in the short and I agree!!

 

[peibeck]

Ilia practicing the 4a, so maybe he will do it here?

I'm enjoying Jason, Gracie and Jackie on the Peacock stream.

Gracie to Jason: "Go radiate joy. I'll keep everyone real"

 

[Barbara Manatee]

They're charming. I've been enjoying the practice cam and commentary - thanks USFS! You got this right.

Gracie to Jason: "Go radiate joy. I'll keep everyone real"

Classic.

 

[Firedancer]

Loved Jason and Gracie together. That was so fun!
