2022 Grand Prix Espoo Rhythm Dance

I just realized they were skating to "Samba" by Gloria Estefan and not "Conga" by Miami Sound Machine.

LOL

 

[moonvine]

For everyone who is doing samba, why no samba rolls? Would they just be impossible to do on ice? (I love samba rolls)

I may be biased in favor of Christina and Anthony, but I feel like that at least resembled a Latin program... apart from the Love Story section.

I just remembered Gilles/Poirier's program. When I watched it on replay with my mom a few weeks back she asked if the story was supposed to be "straight woman unsuccessfully pursues man at club who is using her to attract other men."

Actually, I assumed a similar type scenario the first time I saw it—mom and I must be on the same wavelength

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Madison's hair!

 

[LadyB]

Is that Madison Hubbell at the boards?!

Love to see her, but... they forgot Adrian and Scotty

 

[labgoat]

Christina and Anthony have very quick feet and have upped their expressiveness. After the CZE team, they seem slow, but that may just be the camera.

 

[yelyoh]

Is that Madison Hubbell at the boards?!

She is looking great!!!

 

[moonvine]

haha what a perspective... in my experience, it was mostly my straight women friends who were tagging along when I would go clubbing, in the hope of seeing hot and handsome gay men, and seeking attention from them Their words " we love to try attracting the gay men because they won't hit on us in the end unlike the straight men who are so gross in clubs" yeah... memories from years ago

I used to like to go because guys would dance with me but not get all gropy and handsy and weird.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Oh boo. Half the fun of watching Christina & Anthony is Scott’s reaction in the KnC. I feel like I got cheated of my favorite part.

Though it’s nice to see Madison of course!

 

[labgoat]

Glad to hear the clapping aand see the energy from Carolane & Shane. I hated seeing them so down earlier this year.

Bummed for Oona and Gage, they are brand new on the senior circuit and can't afford those kinds of mistakes. Did seem to be dinged more than necessary, but they need to take this season as a learning experience and perfect their programs.

(Plus yes with everyone else, half of these programs are just not Latin )

 

[4everchan]

So happy for Carolane and Shane... after all the difficulties they have gone through.. this is one of their best outings in a while

 

[IceDancingQueen]

I’ve just tuned in! Christina and Anthony look like they have improved since their last GP. Christina is skating with so much more confidence which is great to say. I thought that was great!

My mom wasn't a big clubber, but she was in a modern dance company in NYC in the 70s, so she certainly knew a lot of people who were

 

[el henry]

Was that Jim Petersen in the stands? Does he have a pair here?

Or am I hallucinating?

 

[labgoat]

New costumes are needed for Carolane & Shane - these are too dull, they need something more lively and do not match their expression..

interesting... i wasn't clubbing in the 70s... nor was I born .. so haha different experiences and perspective. Cool !

 

[LadyB]

I've missed the Taschlers! Glad to see them doing well.

What's with some skaters wearing hoop earrings?! As I said for the past 8+ years, safety hazard!!!!
