The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

Adam Reisinger attended the July 19 exhibition for Gregory/Petukhov's students. He has videos of both of Abo/Ves's programs. Noemi Maria Tali and William Lissauer both performed solo that night, as their partners were unavailable, so he's posted slightly older videos of their programs.

a/v's fd is not grabbing me atm but she seems to have grown a couple inches since last season maybe? they might be still learning to adapt to her new height?
 
Nadiia Bashynska and Noe Perron have announced their new partnership, but not which country they'll be skating for.

I am so happy Nadiia finally found a partner

we all need a friend like lia pereira to hype us up like she does in that comment section

I think that this has such good potential - I’ve actually really enjoyed his skating in the past and even from the clip I can imagine that their lines will match so well in time. In B/B it was always Nadiia that stood out to me so I’m excited to see what this team can do!

No. Nadiia was weak point in B/B partnership.

strange take. I’m sure most people would agree that as ice dance fans we simply wish the best for skaters in their new partnerships (especially when the previous partnership broke down despite having past success)
She suddenly ended partnerships who have success, in middle of season and left coaches who help her get success in ice dance.
 
I always thought Bashynska/Beaumont were a very well-matched partnership. So many junior teams, even if they're a good match technically and physically and seem to get along (and that's asking a lot) can struggle to connect expressively on ice and take a while to find their style as a team. But from very early on BaBeau had a real unity of style and performance.

But it obviously wasn't working for them anymore so I'm glad Nadiia has found a new partner, and hopefully Peter will have good news soon too.

Bashnysnka last competed internationally at Warsaw Cup in late November and Perron at the Universiade in January, so whichever country they end up competing for I guess it will be a while before we see more of Bashynska/Perron than social media clips.

Thanks for sharing. I like Aboian/Veselukin's RD, but it always feels a bit weird when skaters change the speed of a really familiar piece of music. And I hadn't realised that Zoe Bianchi and Pietro Rota (aka reverse lift baby Italians from the Youth Olympics) had split. I guess all the splits explains why Italy returned a lot of JGP spots.

When compared to their peers who aged up around the same time, they were on a downward trajectory not an upward one. That’s not all down to them, part of it is the lack of opportunities you get in a field as big as Canada’s. But they had poor packaging and repeated problems like costly and dramatic falls at the rare competitions they were at. And their progress was further hampered by the lengthy rehab Peter had to go through after breaking his leg.

I’m not going to begrudge Nadiia for wanting to change coaches when it was clear to most it was necessary. And I don’t think she should be vilified for that choice.
 
I've always thought she was the strength of the team, though the experience together was very valuable and they were pretty balanced as skaters.

There. Now we have all the perspectives possible. I'm glad she found a partner. I'd have prefered B&B stick through the not atypically bumpy transition into seniors together, but it's apparently too late now.

Regarding Canada vs. France . . . six of one, half dozen of another? Based on last year's results in Montreal & this year's at Euros, I could envision L&B & D&L-M pulling in rankings of 13 or below potentially sooner than Canada. But you never know how far Canada's #2 will jump up when they become number 2. Also I feel like Lauriault & Le Gac are a question mark that might stay in or might get out. Regardless, new teams need time to cook and jumping into a top 3 ranking in either country won't be easy. Ukraine needs a team, but people have a point that there's no funding or stability. Probably comes down to where B&P want to train.

She wanted change coaches to IAM-O where she NEWER get so much attention as in Scarboro. And I don't think that they program choreography was bad. Coach change wasn't necessary.

They wasn't so much opportunities than they junior time concurents what means that they wasn't chance to get better results but changing coaches to IAM-O as Nadiia want would't help in that. They program choreography wasn't bad and in IAM-O she never would get so much attention as in Scarboro. Coaching change wasn't necessary.

LMAO. The choreo they got from Carol Lane was atrocious. So was the packaging. It's the same old story for all of the teams at Scarboro not named Gilles/Poirier - and even then, there's some really questionable packaging - see Paul's backless suit this past season.

If I was an ice dancer in Ontario, I'd absolutely choose IAM-O over Scarboro, and I can see why Nadiia was attracted to that school. Christina Carreira has openly discussed how supportive & empowering Madison Hubbell is as a coach.

That Peter wanted to stay in Scarboro while Nadiia wanted to switch, coupled with your constant attacks on Nadiia make it pretty clear that he was the favored/indulged partner on their team in Scarboro & you're offended that she 1) realized they were spinning their wheels, technically & creatively, by remaining there, and 2) wanted to change the partnership's power dynamic.

IAM-O secondary teams get very bad programs and Carol Lane not make so bad choreography. In IAM-O they would be in 50. place from 60 teams while in Scarboro they was in 2./3. and would be in 1./2. after next year.

If they were as talented a team as you seem to believe, better together than separate, then I expect they'd have received excellent choreography from IAM-O and risen to the #2 position behind CarPon quite easily.

But, really, what does being 2/3 or 1/2 at Scarboro get you? We've all seen the material both Soucisse/Firus and Lanaghan/Razgulajevs were given and it's not as if any of that is/was memorable in a good way.

Soucisse/Firus in Scarboro get more times better material than it was in IAM
 
Carol has a fun, quirky style. Her taste is more from Mom's era than from mine, but I can appreciate it because Mom is often brightening up when she hears Carol's choices for her teams.

B&B, maybe, didn't really match that style. They seemed more of a classical team and did more of that. The heart arms in the R&J opening & closing, though, were lovely. And the Red Violin was the right choice at the right time. (That junior season needed something dramatic).

Same time Carol Lane make good classical programs for S/F, so she can make also more classical style.
