Tessa and Scott brought it.

Asher Hill had a very unfortunate fall during the twizzle.

Sorry to hear about Hill's fall on the twizzle...and I do miss W/P so much!!!! Great, great, great to hear that V/M brought it (and what a nice big score!!!) and I can't wait to see it

The beginning looks a lot more sensible (not to mention prettier) now-they have changed the "Tessa is a troubled girl" gestures for "Tessa is a lovely young girl at a dance" gestures. Consequently, the change to doing a polka is less jarring than it was in the original version.

Congratulations to Tessa & Scott on a very nice performance.

[emma]

great videos, thanks for sharing them!!! Wow, their SD just wowed my socks off. Did they add more polka steps - somehow, this was the first time I noticed or felt polka in this? Also, did they change the choreo lift at the end? Impressive, impressive, impressive skating!

[Mrs. P]

I agree, that was a great improvement from GPF! And Scott actually appeared that he was enjoying the polka.

Good job!
