Original Dance

[Kinga]

someone please explain to me what was Luca Lanotte wearing on his head, I got so distracted, he looked like a ...surgeon!

I was wondering myself!! That was hideous

[beep_beep]

it was a mask. Looked like something from Venice

Oy, Paul's pants.

Should the waist really be that high? If he keeps the pants, maybe he should lose the coat. This is flamenco, right? I think in Spanish-style dances the attitude in the man's back should be highlighted. Can't see that with the coat and the high-waist pants. Change the color to something darker? A more fitted look?

yes..it's a mask..but not from Venice..it's from Naples..I think h was interpreting Pulcinella a famous character from Naples because of the music they used!

Thanks for the clarification.

Ever since I heard what Meryl and Charlie's OD selection was, I've been dying to see it. Is it up over at YouTube yet?

I thought those pants made Paul look .... pregnant. Sorry.

I hate the music, but this is exceptionally well skated, They capture well the character and they incorporate those tricky choreographical details a la Bollywood, with an ease like they have trained this for months. Well done.

Thanks Herios!!

I loved Meryl & Charley's program. I predict it will take them FAR - maybe all the way.

Paul looked like Marcel Marceau. Why???

I guess that makes Anna Columbine? I wonder why they didn't make him Harlequin. He was drowning in those white PJs. At least Harlequin's costume fits!

Still, so charming!

I LOVE D/W's OD. Its so different from what the other skaters are using and have used. Love the costumes, choreography, and the music.

Of the programs they have done so far in their short senior career, this is by far my favorite original dance. Meryl Davis really shines in this program and I find her believable in this character dance. In the beginning of their career, my eyes use to watch Charlie more, but Meryl has steadily improved in her presence and presentation over the past 2 seasons and its great to see.

I have not seen all the OD's this year, but so far this is by far my favorite OD and I believe they will have huge success with this Indian Folk Dance. Its such a great program that I predict that other dance teams will want to try this style in future numbers.
