The Dance Hall 11: Movin' On Up 2023-2024

Well, then why even compete domestically?

I think they want to compete since China has this huge Winter National Games this season which is like the most important domestic winter sports event since 2016. The Inner-Club series happening now is
the qualifying series for this game so they are competing to qualify. Moreover, Hong Kong has an extra spot in every discipline. Even if they didn’t qualify, they can still compete in the National Games. I guess that’s a big opportunity for them.

As for international competitions, I’m not sure about Hong Kong FSA’s policy, just heard some rumors that they won’t compete. I feel sorry for them if that's true，because they are also age eligible for JGP and JW (She is 15 and he is 16).

Wow. That would be a shame if they weren't able to compete internationally. I thought they were much older when I watched the video of their RD - they're pretty good for their age! They have a lot of potential.

Tkachenko and Kiliakov’s RD is like a fusion/homage of Punsalan and Swallow’s race car program and the Cutting Edge (the main characters’ short program). They’ve got my favorite costumes so far in the RD.

There's nothing like a good race car program.

I love that set of twizzles. Great position for the music.

Also, the swapping besti squats at the end.

And Sarah's back flexibility was truly special.

I feel like I remember some Chinese "interdisciplinary teams" that did both dance and took up ice dance, and I think they did go to Beijing Dance Academy as well. Interesting to see they extended this to Hong Kong teams.

Here btw, apparently one of their junior pairs is from the same program: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...es-for-milan-2026.109798/page-23#post-6401483

Yes I also thought about F&P program when I watched T&K and I did not compare the programs but felt I saw it somewhere already

 

[DORISPULASKI]

I thought of Punsalan & Swallow, for sure.

There was an adorable car program by a pairs team that I remember from an earlier nationals. I think, 2007 in Spokane. Maybe Tanovich & Chau, who won the novices? I'm not sure.

And, of course, there was Yagudin's SP.

Car programs are their very own special genre, I think.

(I never like Punsalun & Swallow's).

 

[Dobre]

A bunch of the Lake Placid videos were deleted today. I maybe should have said something earlier and maybe it wouldn't have done any good, but I am going to go ahead and remind folks that it is safer to keep newer video links in the Kiss & Cry or to send them to people via private message than to post them in The Dance Hall/The Trash Can or the Great Skate Debate. Particularly any video that might have copyrighted music, which will likely be a great many of this season's RD selections.

Randomness: I thought this was Andrew Poje, but it turned out to be Caroline Kennedy's son. Either way, HOLLA!

Cross-posting - quite the amusing read...

FS-gossips translation of a sports-express.ru interview with Davis/Smolkin.

Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin: We mentioned that we didn’t rule out changing citizenship, but neither the USA nor Israel were mentioned. All this was blown up by “journalists”

Interview with Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin. About switching to Georgian team, new programs and debut competition.

The 80's music seems to be working really well for the Rhythm Dances this season. I think dancing to music with a strong beat like this is helping the teams with their dancing. The music helps the teams connect with the dance rhythm. The dances are looking much more like ballroom dancing. I really like that.

Well, let’s face it, classical music is beautiful but only the ballets and waltzes are really designed for dancing.

Per the RD starting order list - the Japanese senior team and HolBiel are WD. But, the rest are all still listed - good lineup if they're all there!
