Ice Dance's OD - Sunday 21st 7:15pm EST
- Thread starter skatemom1122

Sorry for intruding, I'm Italian so maybe I can shed some light. The first part of the music, called "Tammurriata Nera" is a song written in 1944 by E. A. Mario and Eduardo Nicolardi, and it's about a woman giving birth to a black child (the "Nera" part) concieved with an American soldier, and overcoming prejudice with the strenght of her maternal love. It's all sung by a sort of ironic greek chorus. Faiella and Scali tell a different story, though, where he tries his best to seduce her but she keeps rejecting him.
The ribbons are actually "castagnole", castanets, traditonal "props" in Italian folk dancing.
Sorry for the longwinded history lesson.

1st place for them. I still don't like their OD, but it's so funny!

Oh, well.....
Don't think so but we'll see.
Have to say the Russian OD does nothing for me but it's very technical and Robin Cousins has commented that it's very well done, excellent twizzles and great steps but he doesn't, personally, like it because he doesn't think it actually shows off their skills as well as a different interpretation could. He said it was a characterisation not inspired by the character of a folk dance.

D/S massively overscored. Surely, if the judges are looking to prop up a team, they'd at least pick one that was competent?

That's interesting. Thanks for posting it.
not at all. scottessa and marlie will own this original dance.
He used to wear a brace on one of his knees. Not both of his knees are injured, iirc. I thought the costumes covered that, I couldn't see it today.
