2017 Worlds Short Dance

[Lester]

They were trying to do a "History of Hip Hop" routine, starting with the blues origins (although I think hip hop descended from a different strain of African music...) and going through to modern.

Spoilers: it didn't work

I don't know. It's a superficial way to go about it somehow. Save it for youtube, not Worlds. Still, it worked for them, so

Maxi and Zach's dance really worked! Music cuts and choreography flowed! So happy for them. Sad for the Shibs. They "get" hip hop. Perfect interpretation. Very noticeable that all the Americans own hip hop dance.

And now it's time for these least funky, most white version of Uptown Funk I've seen since I danced in my kitchen to this song. (Evan more than Madison-I just wish she'd dial down the Krylova. It's getting old for me)

Video or it didn't happen.

Glitter is such a pain in the butt to clean up.

unicorns too

That's funny, people complain all the time about dance being too subjective, but when you have surprises due to TES scores (which is the most objective you can get), they're still not happy. Well done H/D, hopefully people will look at them for their own value now, instead as default USA#3.

Madi & Zach in 3rd! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Madi and Zach are just After Tessa and Scott, they're easily my favorite dance team out there. And look at that tech score!!

edit: :gasp: they could get a small medal!! Oh pleasepleasepleaseplease

They did!

 

[WeakAnkles]

LOLOLOLOLOL.

Well it should be a very interesting FD.

The script is definitely being written for next year here.

 

[matcha]

USA podium upended in the SP.

I'm a wreck. Need to calm my nerves before ladies.

Also Team "Montreal mush" 123. :eeking:

 

[SarahSynchro]

V/M: the untouchable gods of ice dance.

 

[Lester]

Looks like Marie France swept the first three placements

 

[Lota]

The FD is going to be a bloodbath... can't wait for it :dev2:

 

[Princessroja]

They did!

YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! :hap93: :hap93: :hap93: :hap93: :hap93:

 

[4everchan]

Little reminder this tech judges was the one who put P/C 5 points (in tes) behind V/M, without a mistake from P/C. So I knew he wasn't on P/C. What's the point of watching.

but you are not correct... p/c made mistakes...

 

[ancientpeas]

I never would have thought H/D would be in third and the Shibs in 5th. I'm glad W/P made the final flight.

Except for 1st they are all very close. I can see anyone winning the silver at this point.

ACK.. no I was thinking it was 6 teams but it's 5. Darn.

 

[thoakun]

Thanks lord, this season of "bah bah bah" sounds, dance fitness moves and "we're pushing 30 but can we join your end-of-school parties" outfits are over :hslap:.

 

[Lysambre]

I just tuned in at the end of Chock/Bates program...

The final scores... wth happened for the first team to be so many points ahead of everyone else ??? :shocked:

 

[GGFan]

I don't know all of the intricacies of the levels in ice dancing but it is heartening that there is movement in the standings based on actual performance (if that's the case). I love that H/D get this chance despite their mistakes at Nationals and Four Continents.

 

[OS]

This is why I rarely watch ice dance anymore... who is surprised by that result? Tessa and Scott, would you consider take a nap in your FS? You totally deserve it after that.


At least they kept it close... who's up for Silver and Bronze? My guess France and US.

 

[medvedevasocks]

Gross overscore for Chock & Bates but that is basically the norm for them in their last 100 competitive routines so that doesnt even bother me, it is ho hum and expected. Will be an exciting FD wth all 3 U.S teams fighting for a bronze medal and U.S #1 status going into next season. I know technically Papadakis & Cizeron arent in the clear points wise but I cant imagine them not getting the siilver, especialy as their FD is way stronger than their SD, and their PCS were almost tied with V&M so the judges still like them alot.

Poor Weaver & Poje missing final flight by 0.04 behind 3 U.S teams who were all overscored.
