World Juniors 2025 - Free Dance

[Sally1214]

I don't remember this program either. Did everyone get new FDs, or was my brain blocking them all to spare me?

Almost all of the programs are new to me as I don't follow the Jr. Grand Prix. Might follow it a bit next season, I think. So, unless I saw a program at the Jr. Grand Prix Final, it's all fresh and new to me.

"The rocks" .... that's what Ted decides to call those green chunks on the K/C table. I'm still questioning if they're glass or plastic.

@quartz said that they are slag glass

 

[Sally1214]

Oh .... that guy is sitting on the arm of the couch in the K/C. At first glance, I thougt he was the abominable snowman!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Now, this Edward Scissorhands program I do remember.

 

[Sally1214]

LOVED the Edward Scissorhands program!! This program I WILL remember .... and play back for my husband later on. I SO enjoy when dancers step outside the box and give us something different.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

This French team needs to develop some more French voidiness.

 

[Belsornia]

PG/BK are easily the best skaters so far, but this FD is dull and then an unfortunate fall - not their week. Alignment of their free legs is just slightly off throughout, which is more distracting than if they were doing something completely different.

Zehnder/Sieber my favourites of the first half.

Zehnder/Sieber my favourites of the first half.

Mine too.

 

[Wyliefan]

I hope Abo/Ves got all the hyperactivity out of their systems yesterday and have the beautiful FD they're capable of today!

 

[Karen-W]

Sorry, Canuck FSUers, but I can't believe we have to slog through both of your teams' FDs before we're treated to the wonderful FDs of AboVes and the Mullens.

 

[Colonel Green]

Belgian, Sofiia, you’re supposed to be Belgian.

 

[Karen-W]

Somewhere, there are senior ID teams with dreams of Milano taking inspiration from BezLel for next season...

 

[her grace]

B/Leleu

Twizzles covered a lot of ice, rather open program, playful, flirty, fun leading into the serpentine steps, the ice dance point during a slide

 

[Colonel Green]

This song is fun, but as a cinephile I must object that its exultation of Italian neorealism describes a bunch of things that are the literal opposite of what neorealism was about.

 

[her grace]

B/L look like they’ve mastered the basics and are ready for more intricacy and innovative themes

 

[Sally1214]

Peppy start to the 2nd half of the comp. Fist pump from Max at the finish. He's happy. Good for them.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Is Ted actually telling the truth when he claims that all of the junior ice dancers are friends with each other?

 

[Sally1214]

GO, CANADA!

 

[her grace]

Glad PG/BK stayed ahead, a more complex program with mesmerizing deep edges

 

[Karen-W]

An instrumental version "Sign of the Times" is about two steps away from belonging on the Bridgerton soundtrack and, frankly, I think NguGiang would be far more enjoyable with a Bridgerton FD.

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't care for the top of the dress, but I love the way the skirt moves. And the color.

 

[floridaice]

What's up with the triangle cutout on dresses. Was it Katarina W. that had the same one on her costume yesterday? Kind of distracting.

Ed: It was Caroline Mullen's dress -- hot pink -- the same top portion.

 

[Colonel Green]

That was nice, if generic.

 

[Belsornia]

Sigh, why are Wing/Lowe teams always so badly packaged? Sign of the Times with added violins in a highlighted pink prom dress?

The skating was pretty good, decent speed, and one of the more attractive rotational lifts out there.

 

[her grace]

Nguyen/Giang

Achieving good speed, could extend free legs more—kinda dragging, interesting shapes in straight line lift, well skated

 

[Sally1214]

YAY, Chloe and Brendan! That was beautiful to watch. I loved the music and thought they did a great job with it.

ETA: Also, I think that color of dress looks lovely on Chloe.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Sigh, why are Wing/Lowe teams always so badly packaged? Sign of the Times with added violins in a highlighted pink prom dress?

The skating was pretty good, decent speed, and one of the more attractive rotational lifts out there.

I suppose the bad packing also contributes to Wing/Lowe teams never getting anywhere at the senior level. Does anyone have more insight about that?

 

[her grace]

An instrumental version "Sign of the Times" is about two steps away from belonging on the Bridgerton soundtrack and, frankly, I think NguGiang would be far more enjoyable with a Bridgerton FD.

I’d love to see them with a character theme and storyline to convey. Skating “pretty” didn’t give them much to interpret (or I missed it).

 

[Sally1214]

And again .... GO, CANADA!!
