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

[Bigbird]

What a waste of a great team on crap music and choreo. Sigh.

Look, a crap theme deserves a crap programme designed to mock the theme and score points simultaneously. Genius.

LaLa see the writing on the wall. They are having fun this OGs and saving their energy for next season or the next quad, if they decide to remain competitive. I don't think they take themselves as seriously as the fans do. They are simply having the time of their lives. If the mindset changes, so will the programs. They are brilliant kids.

LaLa's RD felt six minutes long.

I absolutely loved the AC/DC Thunderstruck part of LaLa’s RD.

Wish it was all AC/DC though…

It seemed like an eternity to me and I’m an uber fan.

Another option would be to use Metallica “Enter Sandman” and AC/DC “Thunderstruck”

That would have been EPIC.

Yes. But would it be upbeat and peppy, that is, a minimum of 120 BPM? The kids just said enough of this nonsense.

“Enter Sandman” is 123 beats per minute according to Google.

Definitely upbeat.

Wow, this is a tough crowd. Or perhaps I lack discernment .
I loved their RD. It went by in a flash.

And the FD is beautiful. And I doubt any of the judges will remember it from what, is it 2 or 3 seasons ago? - especially since they never got to worlds with it. And ofc most of the Oly audience will not ever have even heard of it.

Go LaLa. Ignore the haters

It’s unfortunate that a teams literal fans would be considered “haters” for not thinking they made a good music and program choice.

 

[SidelineSkater]

Apparently none of the ice dancers or their coaches read FSU or take it seriously. BC I recall us collectively having incredible ideas for song suggestions.

We give them greatness and they give us dozens of BSB, Ricky Martin and other meh jock jams/kidz bop rejects.

Running to find that RD now.

Destined to become my new favorite.

It's as bland as it gets.

I know that IAM have many teams, but are they aware that L/L are in their 7th Senior season and were 5th at Worlds? Why are they getting this kind of packaging?

At least the FD will be good. Even if it is a repeated programme.

Their SEVENTH senior season? This just makes me depressed. The logjam in ice dance is ridiculous but L/L are certainly not helping their case by agreeing to this program. It’s so junior

I don't know who all here is particularly a LaLa fan, or just an ice dance fan, except @Former Lurve Goddess who said so. Either way I like what I like

 

[PRlady]

I’m a convert to LaLa, I really didn’t like them as juniors or young seniors since their affect was so comically mismatched. I now think they’re more innately talented than almost all their peers but the material is holding them back. Since that was the problem with my former faves HubDon, I’m very

I liked their black cat/golden retriever dynamic from the start but I agree their material has just been so blah for the past couple of years. I really like CPom but there’s really no reason that they should be beating Lala if all things were equal

Oh no. Respectfully, I lurve me some CPom, and I see no reason why Lala should beat them any day of the week. Just sayin.....don't come for me though.

They showed signs as juniors, but when they did Perfume and that Stevie Nicks RD, brilliant!! Talk about having a signature program that is rewatchable, and they haven't even won a world medal yet. Sigh.

???? CarPon did a Stevie Nicks RD for the '80s theme. SmaDie did the Janis Joplin (partial) RD last season.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Hey, I love both the LaLas and the CarPoms and can’t wait for both teams to have better material and world medals in the next quad.

 

[skategal]

I love the LaLas.

While not my cup of tea, I think their RD is fun and has the potential to go viral.

LaLa’s FD White Crow is stunning so I’m gonna focus on that rather than the RD.

 

[lauravvv]

To think that Papadakis/Cizeron competed for just seven seasons in total, considering that they missed the 2020/2021 season...

 

[Cayuse]

I love the LaLas.

While not my cup of tea, I think their RD is fun and has the potential to go viral.

I think they fully tapped into Marjorie's over the top cheerleader personality in the RD.

The girl can out smile anyone on the circuit! Her growth into performing a piece like White Crow is remarkable.

 

[nuge]

I absolutely loved the AC/DC Thunderstruck part of LaLa’s RD.

Wish it was all AC/DC though…

That's the part I thought didn't work for me.I like Mrazeks better

For one moment, I thought this was going to be another break up post. Crossing my fingers that we will see them soon competing again.

 

[Wyliefan]

I figured. Good to get an update. Hope his recovery goes well.

 

[marbri]

I appreciate that LaLa at least tried to do something with their RD. And at least we know the music plays well in arenas which according to Phoebe was a big obstacle this seaosn choosing music.

Good catch. But it was so goooood....

Such a bummer for Tali/Lafornara - not the way anyone wants to start their senior career.

But now that the second spot in Milano is gone, this season is largely pressure off for them, so I'm glad they're taking the time he needs to recover. Hopefully they'll be back in time for SA, or at least to get selected for the Italian team for Euros.

This time next year will now be the crunch point for them, when things will likely be in flux and it will be a change for teams who've come up from juniors in the last couple of seasons to make moves.
