LP: Lori
SP: TAT

She wants to do something "slow".

For real, Bennett?

YAY!

Break out the celebratory chocolate. A Lori Nichol program for Mao--there isn't much that's better than that.

Thank you for this, Bennett!

Wow, Lori again

happy to read about her LP... not so sure I want to see another program by TAT, even if it is the SP.

Yay! Maybe Tat will do something pretty this time Claire de Lune or Concertofo Violin and Orchestra!

No worries about LP. Lori knows what's good for Mao and she is the CoP expert.

SP could be more challenging this season because they may have no spiral requirement in SP (already decided?). I have no idea how it may look like. But someone said that they did not have spirals requirement in SP a long time ago. So TAT would know well. Mao is so good at spread eagles (not sure if she'd ever done ina bauer in performances), so she can fill in space with those gorgeous spirals and other moves in the field.

Lori always choreographed great programs for Mao. In the short program, she should go for a set of spread eagle, ina bauer, and arabesque spiral.

I'm a little bit scared about the TAT SP for Mao, but if she says she wants to skate to slow music than likely it will be fine, did TAT choreograph Clare De Lune and Ladies In Lavender for Mao?

Maybe Tat will pick something a little more simple to show off Mao's incredible lightness:

or perhaps a cheerful Russian folksong like this one:

TAT choreographed Ladies in Lavender. Lori Nichol did Clair de Lune. Ladies in Lavender was music from a soundtrack; I think music selection from another soundtrack is a good idea.
