Oh, it is? Happy birthday! May this year be even better than the last - may next FS season start as well, but continue on in the same excellent way! And may all illnesses keep well away!
 
I'm not sure, but Maria Artemieva & Dmitry Aliev are in the US as well, not that they would necessarily all be there for the same reason.

I really hope they aren't all using NA choreographers.

Seems like they are in NYC.
Poor Sasha is still in the air, enroute to Denver.
 
Denver?? Well, that probably means Colorado Springs. Is he all by himself? Maybe he will work with Tom Dickson? He's choreographed for Mishin's skaters before. I guess he's alright.

I don't think he's traveling alone.
I hope he's gone to the US for choreography but it could also be for one of Mishin's seminars where he uses his students for demonstrations.
 
If Sasha comes out skating to a sappy pop song next year... :slink: Well, it's too soon. I shouldn't generalize about NA choreographers any more than other people should generalize about Russian choreographers.

But to me, Sasha's appeal was how he skated 'Russian' (in terms of mood, music, style) but clearly has COP-style transitions. The Russian ladies were able to make this successful, so why not the men?

Well, if he chooses the music himself like he did last season, I really doubt he'll choose a sappy song.

Anyway, we shall see. Hopefully he will upload more pics when he arrives.
 
He chose his own music last season? I didn't know that.

Anyway, curious to see what is going on with his American trip.:)

He chose them from among several options presented to him.

Sasha's in Colorado Springs and he's not the only Mishin student there. Lazukin and Nugumanova are there too, probably others as well. It seems to be for training.

" Why not?"is the question indeed! Why? All men must learn quads by 16 or 17 or they are just not serious contenders at all! Except borodulin in 2010. He wasnt doing any quads in 2009 and 2010. But that's five years ago! By 18 you better have three or four!!!!

They are staying at Bonnie Gilles' house for a week.[/QUOTE

Sasha has a new haircut, I'm not sure if I like it tough. Other than that, looking good :)

Well, at least he left the hair on top floppy and not spiky.
