hope someone tapes their dances and posts them.IDC's photo of coaches Adrian Diaz & Madison Hubbell in Lake Placid: https://twitter.com/icedancecom/status/1552484402994839552
Their 4 teams (first 3 are competing in the senior international; Italians are in the senior domestic club comp.);
Does anyone know what the maximum possible scores in RD and FD are this year?

And then IDC later followed up with a cell phone photo of Madi and Adrian at the boards for Dozzi/Papetti of Italy, who were just about to compete their RD.
I prefer their RD to their FD at the moment. The FD needs some work, particularly when it switches to “Movement.” Hopefully they’ll get more competitive opportunities to continue to improve the programs.Really liked Hensen/Lickers's FD from Lake Placid, which I found on Twitter (it's posted in the Canadian ice dance thread in the GSD forum, I think). I wonder what international opportunities they could scrounge up this season.
I agree - the bare bones of this are great. I found so many FDs at lake placid so underwhelming but this was great. Their RD is so good too - I saw on Instagram that it was choreographed by Adrian Diaz which is exciting. I think the addition of him and Madi could be what was missing from IAM Ontario last year.Really liked Hensen/Lickers's FD from Lake Placid, which I found on Twitter (it's posted in the Canadian ice dance thread in the GSD forum, I think).

Admittedly a very dubious account! I can’t link it but I think it’s @ iceacademylondon on InstagramWhere did you find that on Instagram? I’ve been wondering who has been choreographing which programs.
From all the FDs I've seen from Lake Placid, their Hozier FD is by far the best one and it's not even close. While there are still rough spots the overall concept and choreography are already very good.Really liked Hensen/Lickers's FD from Lake Placid, which I found on Twitter (it's posted in the Canadian ice dance thread in the GSD forum, I think).

Having seen the videos now, I thought the judging here for the US teams was... generous to say the least.From all the FDs I've seen from Lake Placid, their Hozier FD is by far the best one and it's not even close. While there are still rough spots the overall concept and choreography are already very good.
I was also surprised by how much progress H/L made from last season, to me they are closing the gap from the rest of the Canadian mid-level dance teams. I'm just sad that we might see very little of this FD this season.
Hmm. Having witnessed years of toxic Virtue/Moir fan behavior, I'm going to wait for the official choreographer listing before believing what a "fan" has to say about anything vaguely related to either of them. But thanks for letting me know! If it does turn out to be Adrian's choreography, he is a good choreographer!Admittedly a very dubious account!

I have a feeling he's going to bring a lot to the table as a coach - obviously he was a great ice dancer but not exactly incredible and I sometimes think they make better coaches. (I think you can say the same in most sports if I'm honest).Hmm.

I did like this. I think Hubbell & Donohue should have used this music last season.Really liked Hensen/Lickers's FD from Lake Placid
Weird, wasn't it? For one thing, of all the programs in the world to copy, why on earth would you pick THAT one?And I was really shocked to see one of Carol Lane's teams basically plagiarizing Smart/Diaz FD from 2019/20, music, costumes, and choreography all included. Not since Igor plagiarized V/M's Moulin Rouge have I seen something this blunt.
I actually liked the original LOL, but the thing is that it's also so distinctive that just seeing L/R in their costumes made me wonder if what I suspect is gonna happen, and it sure did...Weird, wasn't it?

Watched the FDs in 2022 Quebec Summer Championships and found L/LG Pink Panther FD to be pretty entertaining, I can see it being a fan favorite this season. I was also impressed again with Hensen/Lickers FD, it remains the best program in this event as well.

I think most were uploaded to these three channels:Where can we find these videos?
Yes, it's an apron that makes it look like he is wearing an overall and not an actual overall, the costumes are still basically identical...Razgulajevs is wearing a sort of apron, so the pants aren't stained like Diaz's. I think they should focus on this, it would be a great storytelling...
Because that basic all-black look for dance men is just so overGood grief, there really is an apron! Why is he wearing an apron for ice dance? Is he planning to go butcher a cow afterward?
That was my fv FD of SD.....what a turnoff.And here is the (IMO) plagiarized FD by Lanaghan/Razgulajevs
