[labgoat]

What's a pull Arabian?

See Calalang& Johnson at 1:12 - kind off a sideways cartwheel. Tai & Randy were famous for them.

It's a Dalilah led initiative she had an Instagram story about it

And the paid twitter 'media influencers' activists are attacking her in force. I used to love to follow programs on twitter, but tonight it is too toxic. Gave up trying to block and mute these people. Tonight, I guess the activists win. They have ruined the #USChamps19 hashtag on twitter.

It is available on the new Fan Zone app. Unfortunately mine is almost completely garbled with small moments of clarity.

In all seriousness though, how are you defining artistry?

It's just innate loveliness...preferred their short from the start of the season it had more transitions and projection

I can only speak for myself... Deanna oozes musicality and grace, which elevates anything she skates to. She is a very special presence on the ice. But personally I can't get past the music for this program, and I like West Side Story. Not that I disagree with their scores, just that I don't like this program.

I can't believe I hadn't realised this was on :eeking:

I'm in time for Kayne/O'Shea onwards right?

Block them. I did.

Twitter is so toxic...its a cesspool of incognito idiots given a platform to spew venom

I took a glance at the hashtag and I can guarantee you the "activists" are not paid, just people with opinions like you.

I choose to see wearing the hat as showing support for his family and loved ones. I very much wish we were also seeing some teal ribbons to show direct support for the survivors.

I don't understand why televised activism is okay, but people making their feelings known on twitter isn't. That's a bit of a double standard.

Perfectly said it waters down Deanna

I love how Tara matched her hair color to Danny's shirt. That's commitment #totalpackage

 

[Hyena]

Tarah and Danny!

 

[Princessroja]

Tarah and Danny
her pink dress, him burgundy shirt


BO death spiral
3 twist, nice
throw 3L, okay
SBS spins, mostly good unison, strong ending
good SS
nice lift

there were jumps in there somewhere but clearly I spaced. commentators and crowd are going wild so I think they must have been clean jumps

71.83, holy smokes. good for them!

 

[Nathan13]

Kayne & O'Shea were reminiscent of Nats 2016. What a great skate

[skylark]

Way to go, Tarah and Danny! :hap93:

 

[Colonel Green]

Great job, Tarah and Danny!

Cool to open a program with the death spiral.

So you're defining artistry as graceful movement. From my perspective as a dancer, artistry is a lot of things, of which grace is only one. I agree in that Deanna isn't the most soft/fluid/graceful skater, but she and Nate are very artistic in other ways--they connect with the audience and each other, have engaged facial expressions and focus, and so on.
