It's a US Ice Dance Renaissance...and it's beautiful...

 

[LisaM]

This is just so modern and different and cool!

 

[Scovies]

...I don't really like this program.

 

[tulosai]

Wow all of these teams are so awesome That made me want to dance.

US ice dance in a way is almost as deep as Russian ladies at this point. It really is incredible.

H/D might beat H/B. Current FD score for H/D is about 99...

 

[Alchamei]

Just came to see H/B! Great skate by them, powerful indeed. I wigh they had better costumes though...

 

[ArcticMonkeys]

Go Shib and Shib!

The last few times we saw this, I did not like the third music selection. This time it finally all hit together for me. That was great. Talk about skating big and with power. They have great intensity.

I'm really hoping they're on the podium.

...I don't really like this program.

Same here.

 

[sabinfire]

H/D FD score is sitting at 99.31

 

[Jammers]

Even if H/D make the World team they will really have to improve to keep H/B from passing them in the future.

I didn't like the second music selection. The hip hop part. It screamed exhibition.

 

[cptnhastings]

I like it. It's so different than the classical style, but works for me.

Looks like they beat H/B for 3rd. (I'm just assuming 1/2 won't change.)

...I don't really like this program.

Too much side by side choreo between the scored elements for my taste.

 

[LisaM]

Hope H/B can get a 4CC assignment...

 

[Alchamei]

99.31. Podium. They deserved it.

..I don't really like this program.

I didn't like it at the beginning but now I love it Such an energy - and it's just different! Don't get me wrong, Hawayek and Baker were amazing but very classical, Hubbel and Donohue are energetic, they push the boundaries and do it wonderfully.

I know not everyone likes the program, but I like that they're willing to try new styles. It's good to experiment. Next year, they'll choose something different again, and they'll continue to improve.
