you are welcome ... glad you are joining us. I have a tvteka subscription, but this link buffers less.

Z/G's FD was a massive cannibalization of this dance choreographed by Wade Robson for SYTYCD- even down to the costumes and makeup.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g-kxL-OR74

It's a dance about a group of zombies.

Unfortunately, I think Z/G don't have the nuance of movement to really elevate the concept but I think for those who haven't seen the original dance they would think this was original and unique. But it's not- to me, it's a poorly executed copy of the original with some other musical pieces tacked on the beginning.

I thought I liked Monko/Khaliavin, but this "flamenco" just got wailing and tedious. A bit sloppy. Where was this team last year?

I just tuned in - enjoyed Monko/Khaliavin!

This one is super great! Thanks!

Why the deduction for K/G?

I also enjoyed M/K.

They were out much of last season due to injuries/sickness. They competed at Nationals, where they finished 5th.

Hmm, low score for M/K.

I think Maia looks beautiful in this costume with her hair up.

Fingers and toes crossed for a great performance from Sinitsina and Zhiganshin. Hope they can make the podium.

Yes, she looks beautiful! I hope they have a good dance.

OOh no. they just stopped over to the boards. What's up?

Whats going on??

Looks like they're going to go for it.

Audience being very supportive. :thumbsup:

The audience is so supportive to Shibutanis!

he couldn't lift her, missed the lift and stopped. they allowed them to start over.

That's a nice FD from the Shibs.. still don't get exactly what was wrong with Alex..

This is a haunting and beautiful program, but my stream kept freezing so couldn't get a good feel for the technical difficulty.
