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

It is illegal in Aussieland not to vote.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ooooh, are we in for more club music?

 

[Ichatdelune]

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?

The Finnish Ballet and good-looking Mr. Saulius

Lilah has a new costume! She’s—-a disco glitter ball!

Sounds awesome hope I get to see it!

Don't die!

Fear not. I live!

She's busy getting hankies for Piper and Paul

Well technically it's only illegal not to get your name ticked off. Once you do that you're free not to vote at all.

nice quality!

I like their packaging I think, but some of that music is too fast for them. The choreographic sequence just seemed off to me. If hip hop is what they were going for, idk if I was convinced of the character

 

[ruffledgrouse]

As far as club-music-and-black-mesh programs go, I think I prefer the Hungarians. Because they didn't try to hip hop dance.

But once you are there you might well vote. I think it's a good idea personally.

Natalia hair is all wrong for clubbing. Who clubs in a french braid? Sheesh.

Natalia KALISZEK / Maksym SPODYRIEV
Poland
Music: Bout Time by Crystallize; I Feel Like I'm Drowning by Two Feet; Bout Time by Crystallize
Choreography by: S. Nowak-Trebacka, L. Chojnacak, R. Bondara
Costumes: Both in basic black with sheer paneling and illusion stripes down each sleeve. The Nebelhourn costumes were way cooler.

Program Layout:

Frantic robotic steps that say, No this isn't Dirty Dancing. We've gone Techno! It's Tres Moderne! And into
Rotational lift - He flips her up into a strange position (go see the video). But I like it. Level 4, 1.04 goe
Connecting steps into
Twizzles - Level 4 for both, 1.60 goe
Back to more robotic steps into
ML Step Seq - Hey! It's PostModern Waltz Time! Some nice cold precision there. It's techno; it should by ICY. Level 3 for both, 2.21 goe
Some VERY interesting robotic steps into
Dance Spin with a cool first position. And it's multidirectional. Level 4, 1.35 goe
SL Lift with her on his thigh. It's very sculptural and cool. Level 4, .87 goe
Choreo Spinning Move - which I also really like. .83 goe
Steps into
Stationary Lift - which they've been using for I believe at least 2 previous seasons. Level 4, .87 goe
Tempo change and right into
NT Step Seq - adding hiphop for extra flavoring. Level 3 for both, 1.09 goe
Chor Char Step Seq - 2.13 goe
Choreo Lift - 2.49 goe

I admit I have a soft spot for this team. I'm glad they went in such a radically different direction. You can't do Dirty Dancing forever. HOWEVER for this to work, both partners have to FULLY COMMIT TO THE CHOREOGRAPHY. You can't be half-hearted. Techno is all cold mechanistic precision. Own it. And they're finally doing that.

A bit sluggish today. Not as sharp as at Euros.

Score: 109.66

Bloody hell. My laptop was acting up, so I just switched over to my iPad to watch the livestream, while completely forgetting my Bluetooth speaker was still powered on. Nothing like blasting a ten month old baby out of a deep sleep with what can only be described as the startle of her lifetime. Loud Russian commentary, loud program music, loud audience cheers and claps....

 

[cathlen]

Is there stream without commentary? Ok.ru has now Tarasova talking...

your littlest girl is going to wonder why she doesn't like clubbing music one day.

I don't know if I feel more sorry for you or the baby!

Oops!

Hope you can get her (him?) back to sleep.

Hey Sara and Kirill!
