2019 US Nationals Senior Free Dance

I don't love that FD from H/B but they deserve bronze for sure with that performance

Yeah, it's another sleeper, along with C/P's and M/C's.

I know it's slightly derivative Montreal "mush", but at the same time I think this program is a perfect fit for where Kaitlin and Jean Luc are right now.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Gadbois sweep the US podium.

Bock. BOCK. You said BOCK.

I’ll be adopting that name for them, effectively immediately.

I love H&B but I am not in love with this program. However their elements are more solid and the program is more detailed. It just doesn't draw me in as much.

Phew, the right three teams are going strongly into the second half of the season.

Now let's hope someone posts the vids on Youtube asap.

Can we still give Manta/Johnson a medal for their free dance

 

[ruffledgrouse]

How did my bbs do? Is it safe to look? :hopelessness:

 

[moonvine]

Kaitlyn got my sheep!! I hope she likes sheep!!

Wow I think we are in agreement.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I am SO happy McNamara/Carpenter nabbed the pewter medal.

 

[fleeting]

I love H/B but that program is like a lesser version of their Romeo and Juliet from 2014-2015.

 

[jillredhand]

Well, some very nice skates from everyone. No upsets to the most likely results, expect that the Parsons underperformed. C/B and M/J definitely the highlights of the night.

Charlie and Ben, please please please commentate together more!

 

[labgoat]

Kaitlin & Jean-Luc have so much personality that I would like to see. For example, Jean-Luc as a troll.

 

[litenkyckling]

In regards to C/P -- I saw an interview where he said he'd like to do a Gipsy Kings FD, really hoping that next year they try something like that out because they need to differentiate if they want a medal and their previous short dances shows that they definitely can

 

[WeakAnkles]

Charlie and Ben, please please please commentate together more!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

:thumbsup:

Also I'm happy that Hawayek/Baker finally got into the top 3.

I’m not a C/B fan and am not sold on this music edit but that was the best dance of the night to me. They sell it so well and everything feels crisp and somehow fresh.

H/D’s dance still feels like reheated leftovers — gets it done but it’s all mush and on the verge of spoilage.
