2019 World Championships Free Dance

[Princessroja]

How on earth did her costume tear?

Saw it on the replay. On the lift where she leapt into his arms and flipped upside down. Seems like the top and bottom tore apart as he grabbed her.

Oh and a special message for SynchroSarah:

I am being a very HONORABLE (VPN) CANADIAN for the FD.

Every time StrongKnuckles denies his true citizenship, god kills a kitten.

:ddevil:

 

[Ichatdelune]

That’ll be the last time she orders from wish.com!

At first I thought we were getting a Cell Block Tango but I way prefer this concept instead :dance:

Program Layout:

And we're back clubbing with Anna and Adam.

Chor Char Step Seq that says We're here to PARRRRRRRRRRTYYYY! 1.78 goe
Twizzles with interconnecting steps. Slow slow slow. Soooo SLOOOOOOOOW. Level 4 for both, 1.09 goe
Stationary Lift - Level 4, .75 goe
Tempo change. Time to cool down after all that work!
NT St Seq - The problem is she's in a different league from him so it looks imbalanced. It looks dumbed down for his sake. Level 2 for both, .97 goe
SL Lift --> Ro Lift - Starts with a flip into a cantilever; Levels 4 and 4, 1.27 goe
Dance Spin with cartwheel exit. Level 4, .45 goe
Tempo change and we're back clubbing...
Chor Twiz - no goe given
Diag St Seq - almost none of which is done in hold and is pretty basic. Level 3, .19 goe. Generous level.
Choreo Spinning Movement - put some oomph into it please. .83 goe


For a club piece, that lacked a lot of energy. Dancing for the comatose!
She is just in a completely different league from him, so it makes for a very imbalanced program. Two sure signs of dumbing down: doing step sequences to a slow(er) tempo and not in hold. And they're doing both.

Score: 94.85

And they're like two strangers in the K&C. Weird.

Whatcha voting for?

State Government. I'm hoping we get some new people in.

Now I'm just cranky because the line is now gone. I should have come half an hour later

 

[Ichatdelune]

And now the Finnish Ballet

You go, Anonymoose! Participate in that democracy! eace: (unlike 60% of my countrymen )

 

[Ichatdelune]

Better done at Euros (no twizzles mistakes and all), but what a lovely program. I am rooting for these two

 

[Princessroja]

Well, they seem pleased with that performance. But oh my they are soooooo sloooooow. Nothing against him whatsoever, because he's obviously trying really hard, but I do wish she could find a partner more on her level.

edit: uhhhhh computer problems. That was about Anna and Adam, not the lovely Finns!

Turkkila in particular has really nice carriage

 

[WeakAnkles]

Juulia TURKKILA / Matthias VERSLUIS
Finland
Music: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466, I.Allegro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466, II. Romance by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Choreography by: Pasquale Camerlengo, Massimo Scali
Costumes: Very romantic pink dress with flower appliques and sequins for her; black pants with blue shirt with blue and green beading, sheer sleeves for him. Would Mozart approve of mancleavage? Discuss.

Program Layout:

It's Mozart, yes, but I give them credit: this isn't P/C redux.

Long series of steps into
Twizzles with interconnecting steps between sets. Level 4 for her 3 for him. .48 goe. He was pumping through them. Looked a bit herkyjerky
SL Lift - you can see her ballet training; she has marvelous posture. And it's musical. Level 4, .81 goe
Tempo change into
NT St Seq. - it's a lovely low after the high of the opening. Twizzle out. See, musical highs and lows are your friends skaters. Level 2 for her, 3 for him. 1.10 goe
Choreo spin to opposite rink side from the judges (clever!). 1.83 GOE And then right into the
Chor Char Step Seq - Tempo change and it's tender and ACTUALLY REVEALS THEIR RELATIONSHIP. Thank you. 2.13 goe
Curve lift with a lovely position. Level 4, .81 goe Then steps into the
Dance Spin - nice but watch the traveling. It could be more centered. Level 4, 1.03 goe
Diag Step Seq. - VERY little of which is actually done in hold. Nor is it the most difficult step seq (they're ready for more difficulty). Level 2 1.80 goe
Rotational Lift - Big speed. Level 4 1.14 goe
Choreo Lift - lovely 2.08
and into final dance/romance pose (love her very balletic arms) .

Still love this program. Will still probably be underscored in PCS. Still my top candidate for Most Improved Team.

A big round of applause for a breakthrough-to-the-next-tier season.

Score: 102.11 and a SB

Don't die!

I guess as long as the nipples are covered then this outfit doesn't violate the rules?

 

[anonymoose_au]

You go, Anonymoose! Participate in that democracy! eace: (unlike 60% of my countrymen )

Yes! Although it is compulsory here, which I think is a good thing, even if I did just stand in a very slow and hot line which made me cry because I'm a wuss

Almost home though! Did I miss anyone good?
