The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

I'd like good programs. Is that too much to ask for?

I know people are blaming IAM regarding the judging, but what I’m truly blaming IAM for is the complete monotony of programs the last few years. They all seem like rehashes of each other. One or two might pop out, but it’s all just felt so generic. The most interesting programs are coming out from new choreographers like Jean Luc or smaller schools that don’t have to think about 30 different free dances.

I’ve seen people say that they’re just impeccable at packaging and programs, and sure to some extent, but most of their teams blend together for me or just rehash the same style year after year.

Okay. Are we seriously going to bag the programs coming out of IAM and then hold up Jean Luc as new choreographer bringing something new to this world because

His program for green parsons is probably the most interesting free dance of the season for me, so yes.

IAM gave Chock & Bates both & and & , so they can create good programs. The trouble is, they don't do so anywhere near often enough.

For you. I can't remember a thing about it.

Both those programs are from the previous quad, and I agree with you, they were creating some good ones that quad.

My favorite FDs this season are both from Igor’s camp - Z/K’s Romeo and Juliet (done by Benoit) and Cui/Rogers’ White Crow/Mercy which I think was done by Igor and Co.

For my Piper and Paul have best RD and FD in this season.

That’s the Browns for me.

I do REALLY like Zing/Koles’s free dance.

I forgot about the Browns and now I recall saying I wish LaLa had that FD

So I guess I like two FDs right now but only one of them is going to the Olympics ( FB/C).

I've never felt that way...

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the version by Reitan and Majorov.
