Thank you!
LOVE this program. As a program, for me, definitely better than D/W's at this time (though that is probably largely a matter of personal taste). They are definitely playing to their strengths and their 'romantic' connection on the ice, and for me it 100% works. Also love the lift at the end. Not sure if they've done something like it before but it looked a lot smoother than most of their lifts last year.
That said, it was not as crisp as I'm used to seeing from them, especially Tessa. It looked to me like she had several very slight bobbles out there. It seemed a bit scratchy. It is to be hoped and expected that as the season goes on that will improve though
As a program, though, I am in love. I also loved her dress. So pretty though she'll probably change it before Olys.
I agree. Love the program & music. Smooth as silk, light with gorgeous edges & as usual, the character of the piece so on. Just one small "bobble" by Tessa in the 2nd twizzle. Scratching my head though about your comments regarding the lift being smoother. If you're referring to Carmen, then the lifts were MEANT to appear a struggle -- the push & pull between the characters was reflected in the choreography -- that's expression in dance at its best!
