Not a good draw for the Hubbells or R&G...

I quite enjoyed Aronow & Pirgonov of LTU. They did a 40's dance to In the Mood (jitterbug) with a schmaltzy Lawrence Welk type rest bit (waltzy) in the middle. Good 40's feel and a cut pairs spin with her lying flat facing up. Twizzles drifted terribly.

Score 30.92, total 52.72, 7th.

Dieck & Zenkner Germany to the slowest Charleston I ever saw (in French). (They do lots of Charleston hands and foot movements. She had on a very wide vertical stripe black and white skirt (like 50's cheerleader). The dress was not noticeably 1920's. He had a black shirt grey vest. Total 60.13 in 2nd SB

They qualify for the FD.

Actually, the dance was Le Lambeth Walk by Dalida, so I assume it's the Lambeth Walk. Which was a dance of 1937 or so.

Elsener and Roost SUI
coached Linichuk
The most cuts I've ever heard in an OD Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ,Have You Ever Been to the Tropics,You Send me,Drinking Rum & Coca Cola, Tico Tico

I probably did not remember them all

He's in fatigues, she in a red polka dot halter dress.
Toomuch gratuitous saluting

They're playing Wyclef Jean during the warmup


Charlene GUIGNARD / Guillaume PAULMIER FRA
16 24.56
Vincent Gironde, Celine Paulmier, Lucie Cosnuau

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
Blues: Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller

He's in the Army, she's in the Wac's, but it's an alternate universe where WAC's have no sleeves, a wide red belt and a red net crinoline hanging out under a short skirt. They're peppy, but the unison is not great. Noticeably faster skaters than the last group.

38.22, total 62.78, into 1st

Lucie MYSLIVECKOVA / Matej NOVAK CZE
11 27.80

Coach Natalia Karamyseva, R. Sinitzin, M. Kreiselmeyer
Choreographer: Margarita Drobiazko, Povilas Vanagas

He's in the underpinnings of a black tie and tails outfit, she has a dark blue costume with kind of random sparklies. This was a great dance from them, twizzles in unison and one time to the music. The blues part was particularly special and bluesy. Then they break into tap dancing and off to the s/l step.

Very special

49.18 SB total 76.98 into 1st


Blues: Harlem Nocturne
Quickstep: Let Yourself Go

Genevieve DEUTCH / Evan ROBERTS GBR
14 26.37

coached Karponosov and Suzy Semanick

Blues
Boogie Woogie

They have a lot of personality on the ice. The pair spin was maybe level 1 if lucky, but all the blues part was quite good. Significant out of unison on the twizzle sequence. The lift was like the handstand one the Kerr's use. She's in a pink number with eyes sketched on her boobs. He has pinstriped pants.

41.61 total 68.6 into 2nd.

14 Xueting GUAN / Meng WANG CHN
15 25.37

Charleston (from the 1930s): All I Do Is Dream of You (from Singin' in the Rain soundtrack)

Wang fell early in the program. Unfortunately my stream was frozen images so I don't know what he fell on.

Anastasia GALYETA / Alexei SHUMSKI UKR

She has an odd little green hat, fringes on a black chemise top (makes her looky chunky) and a green and black skirt of ribbons with purple elbow high gloves. He has either gray or pinstripe pants with a purple shirt and stripe suspenders and striped tie. They seemed unable to keep up with this music and skated through it.

Terra Findlay Benoit Richaud FRA
Sing, Sing, Sing (a tortured version)
She's in a turquoise fringed dress with no back and turquoise gloves.
He has large plaid pants and a white vest, a black shirt and a turquoise tie
They got out of sync on a twizzle in the footwork. They are much more capable to this swing music than the last couple.

Loved that Greek team. They captured the music of The Boy Friend, quite well. The 20s were as special as the 40s for young adults to dance.

Ekaterina RIAZANOVA / Jonathan GUERREIRO RUS
7 29.02

Coaches: Kustarova & Alexeeva

Slow Foxt: C'est Si Bon performed by Louis Armstrong
Swing: Sing, Sing, Sing by Louis Prima

He has on a white shirt, a patchwork colored vest and black pants and an art deco tie. She a similarly pattern top with spaghetti straps, little black hat, rag skirt. This was well skated, with one slight misstep in one f/w sequence. The Pair spin started down in the knees and moved up in a nice way to the music. They had a nice hydroblade move in it. Screen froze on me. But well skated. Should be 1st.

Lorenza ALESSANDRINI / Simone VATURI ITA
10 27.81

Coaches: Barbara Riboldi, Roberto Pelizzola

Blues: Minnie the Moocher
Swing: Ballando con le stelle by Paolo Belli

Illusion fabric back black dress slashed to navel revealing silver bra a loincloth tail both front and back and it moves peculiarly. He has white business shirt, red tie (grossly loosened), black pants. Their unison was not great nor their speed. They suffer being back to back with R&G. Interesting lift with her back on his shoulders and the legs up. She crouches and he kicks over her Monkey puzzle lift changes to end.

Kharis RALPH / Asher HILL CAN
4 30.09

Coach: Carol Lane, Jon Lane, Juris Razguliaevs, D. Iljima

Foxtrot: They Can't Take That Away from Me by George and Ira Gershwin

He has a black hat and a man's tie used as a belt (something Astaire has supposed to have done), a pink ascot and a white shirt & black pants, she has pink dress with loops sewn to the straps. This is a good dance and has gotten better all year, particularly their unison and posture. The dance spin has some unique positions in it. Quite good timing. He is very flexible in the kicks, so they're large. 2nd twizzles stationary though.

49.58 SB total 79.67 into 2nd.

Karen ROUTHIER / Eric SAUCKE-LACELLE CAN
6 29.24

Coaches: Tyler Myles, Kelly Johnson, P. Porac

Blues (1930s): PS. I love You by Bette Midler
Jive (1930s): Stuff Like That There by Bette Midler

The most arresting part of this dance,was the clashing of the costumes. She's in a maroon halter dress lined with very bright blue. He's in brown gas station attendant outfit that I think is supposed to be an Army uniform.

The dance was quite smooth but they couldn't always keep up to the Jive, which had absolutely no jive character. There were also no obvious mistakes.

48.06 total 77.30 in 4th.
