The Dance Hall 5: Ice Dance Fans 2017-2018

Yes, it definitely has more impact. I understood and appreciated the previous ending but the program is very dramatic, so it has to end with more drama and intensity than sentimentality.

But then didn't David Wilson did Prince too ? I'd put my trust in him if so.

A lot of it was Sam Chounard from what I understood.

I love it even more. It has so much more colour and depth as a whole program. There isn't this excessively sharp divide anymore. Impressed.

Tracy Wilson from the SD at Canadians: "It has been said that the rhumba is a vertical expression of a horizontal wish". Haha.

Me too. Tracy is always very proper. Giggle. She was excited

Interesting to see the changes Virtue/Moir made to "Moulin Rouge" at Canadians. Seems like they agreed with those of who felt the second half lacked oomph and was a bit flat. Very ham fisted music edits though.

I thought the overall impression was much better, not because necessarily of the music cuts, but thank to the reworking of the technical. I really had an issue with those step sequences and now it's much more smoother. I did like the previous ending (so elegant) but I completely understand they want the new "Olympic" one. Somehow they'll put that previous ending on one of their show numbers in the future

Blah I thought they would listen to me and end with the tango oh well. I want the tango part only.
Still it's better, but they skated a tad cautiously.

An entire FD can't be tango because of something in a requirements that makes it practically mandatory to have a slow part.

Change of tempo is required no ?

I think that's what it is called! Thank you!

Well, there have been entire tango FDs also in the current times, but those were either to several tango pieces in different tempos or to one tango piece that had changes in tempo inside itself. Of course, if Virtue/Moir did a tango FD, it would most likely have to be to at least two tango music pieces as well. Just ' El Tango de Roxanne' wouldn't do, besides, it's not even that long.

I think it's better. Doesn't feel like two separate programs anymore. The ending feels much stronger & more cohesive with the beginning.

Is it the first time that G/P beat W/P?

I think so...

So what did people think of Gilles & Poirier's free?

The music is louder so it probably has a stronger feel in an arena than the Perry Mason; but personally, I hate James Bond so I'm really the wrong person to ask here.

Same here, I don´t even like Wakaba´s program.

I actually like Wakaba's. It's a miracle. I didn't even like Yuna's.

I thought it was okay, especially for a 1st outing. It's a bit sad that it's still an October program because they have a month left only, it could have grown.

Maybe they can use it again next year?

 

[Bigbird]

I really liked P2's program, much more than even the tired retread of JSM. Can we just retire that piece of choreography and music? Just saying it as I see it.

 

[Anyasnake]

I hardly see any team keeping an olympic program for the next year (too bad that the opposite is often done )

 

[binbinwinwin]

I think Gilles/Poirier's FD is better and more attention grabbing than their previous one, also more accessible. It was the right move but the program still looks very new and I'm not getting any story line or anything from it. Not sure how I feel about the new curve lift but I think that straight line lift has more oomph here with the new music. They might need another outing with this but with how close Olympics is I'm not sure they'll be able to do that.

They could do 4CC. They won't be in the TE, so that would be about 3 weeks in between. 4CC ends on the 28th and the SD is on the 19th of Feb. Not sure they will though.

Is it the first time that G/P beat W/P?

Only because W/P had that rough SD yesterday, they were 8 points behind G/P. In the FD W/P beat them by 7 points, so total score was one point spread. Doesn't matter, WeaPo are Canadian #2. I didn't expect them to overcome 8 points but they sure almost did!

Ok I'll just come out first and say I'm absolutely not sorry about that one. I loved it and it's the only Muse program I thought worthwhile.
