Worlds 2025 Rhythm Dance: “I Feel Loathe”

[Former Lurve Goddess]

KMT claims DavSmo are better in person. I trust @Rukia, @peibeck and @tony to give us the truth of the matter.

When I saw them live at last year’s Worlds, they were better than I expected. Mind you, my expectations were very low.

[Karen-W]

No Elvis in this group at least.

But two Beatles programs!

Good for Phebe & James making it through the RD! Their FD hopes are looking good!

 

[petro]

This is the kind of program Chock and Bates should have done for this theme if you ask me…

 

[peibeck]

Unlike the Disco Brits, these two use their blades in time to the beat. Not the fastest, but great interpretation.

 

[Braulio]

Solid program, pattern dance level 3! twizzles hers level 3 though

Commitment to the program, good moments choreography, the sold it from the first second, they have joy for skating and it shows

 

[slicekw]

The big on-ice heart-arms was everything zany that we love from ice dance!
Phoebe’s costume, including makeup, is insanely on point and gorgeous!

 

[her grace]

Brits not looking particularly speedy. OTOH, they’ve grown a lot as performers this year, making moments impactful and sharing highlights with the audience.

 

[skipaway]

I’m grateful they use original Beatles not covers

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

KMT hinting at the fact that this year’s RD theme doesn’t actually mean anything.

 

[Karen-W]

[Braulio]

Doing heart with their arms

 

[MacMadame]

1st Q!

 

[peibeck]

Love her "We qualified!" in the KnC

 

[Wyliefan]

They didn't make the cut last year, so that's nice for them.

 

[Amy L]

I’m grateful they use original Beatles not covers

The Shout part is a cover that the Beatles did Skaters will always get a cover in somehow!

 

[Sally1214]

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Phebe and James! So many nuances in that made me smile ... like that floaty moment in the first lift and the arm hearts during Sgt. Pepper .... and lots of other stuff. Just fantastic!!

 

[Karen-W]

Yup, Holly's definitely got tights over the boots!

 

[Braulio]

Congrats guys, this means GBR will have two spots for the Olympics secured in ice dance

 

[beckab81]

Yup, Holly's definitely got tights over the boots!

In that case... should I kill the Germans or Georgian's costumes?

 

[Finnice]

Hate the music cuts for AUS. Abba does not deserve that.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Gosh, the rds are really dreadful this year, aren't they?

 

[MacMadame]

In that case... should I kill the Germans or Georgian's costumes?

Congrats! But I've already forgotten the Georgian's costumes so I can't comment on that.

 

[miffy]

Who remembers the ABBA Brits?

 

[MacMadame]

Hate the music cuts for AUS. Abba does not deserve that.

jarring music cuts

 

[MsZem]

Holly and Jason not sufficiently committed to ABBA-style costumes. Or to actual ABBA music, for that matter.

 

[peibeck]

Aussies selling it, but like the Canadians a few errors.

 

[MsZem]

A REAL AIR OF SOPHISTICATION???

I am speechless.

 

[Braulio]

Aussies were fun to watch but the Twizzles level 3 for him could be the difference on getting 69 points that is what they need
