Just wondering who is is doing choreography for this year. I think I saw Jeremy Abbot listed. I love Kurt's work. Does anyone have any updates on Kurt?

Lysacek mentioned in his latest journal entry on his official site that he is working with Lori Nichol on his competitive programs this year.

Browning has choreographed short programs for Jeremy Abbott (will be on the Sr.GP) and Brandon Mroz (will be back on the JGP) and also worked with Brian Joubert in May (not sure which program). I recently watched Abbott's SP to Santana's "Treat" on the Broadmoor Open webcast and I think this could be a very fun and effective program for him as he gets more mileage on it -- the deft and nimble footwork sequences are very 'Kurt"-like!

Those Kurt Browning steps are priceless. Abbott should sell them in the competition.

Evan with Lori? I don't recall her doing choreo for Men.

I think it was Lori who choreographed Evan's Carmen program...?

Kurt's choreographing for:
Brian Joubert
Tubga Karademir's SP (music unknown)
Jeremy Abbott's SP ("Treat" by Carlos Santana)
Brandon Mroz's SP ("Night on Bald Mountain" by Mussorgsky)

He's not working with Evan this year, according to Evan's journal, as Sylvia mentioned.

This thread may interest you, I've been keeping it updated with Kurt choreography news as I get it.

I could be wrong, but I think Lori has done work for Scott Smith.

My memory is so fuzzy, but was this the short program that opened with circular footwork - or some kind of unusual opening? I remember loving it but can't remember the details.

I *think* so... it's been a while since I've watched it... he debuted it at teh 05 Nationals, and was the most emotional program of all time by Tim (and one of the most by any skater) as that was the year that Angela Nikodinov and her family were in the fatal wreck on their way from the airport to the competition... after the skate he broke down and was pretty much sobbing out on center ice...

he never skated so well... before or since IMO... it was just heartbreaking... but a stunning skate...

Would you happen to know where I could find a copy of this video? I can't seem to find it on Youtube...

Kurt Browning trivia questions:

a. Who was Kurt's partner when he competed as an ice dancer?

b. What championship did they win?

c. What music did they skate to?

a. Who was Kurt's partner when he competed as an ice dancer?

He competed as an ice dancer?

b. What championship did they win?

I have no idea

What music did they skate to?

Well, since we've mentioned it a bit, I'll guess "the feeling begins". Ok, i'm kidding cuz he must have skated dance before he 'got known' in singles, right?

PS i finally figured out how to do multiple quotes in one post, pretty cool.
