Charlene GUIGNARD / Marco FABBRI
Country: Italy
Music: La La Land soundtrack by Justin Hurwitz ("Audition," "A Lovely Night," "Epilogue")
Choreography by: Barbara Fusar Poli, Corrado Giordani
Costumes: Green La La dress for her, black pants and vest and tie with white shirt for him
Program Layout:
Boy Meets Girl steps to establish A Relationship. And into the
Dance Spin - with cartwheel entrance. Level 4, 1.74 goe
Circ Step Seq - Level 4, 3.04 goe. Old fashioned but nicely done. Someone's been watching Old Hollywood Musicals.
Very nice rotational flip of her over his back entrance into
Twizzles - done in a circular pattern with tons of interconnecting steps (honestly, I thought this was a NT step seq the first time I saw it). First rate thogh not as sharp as at the GPF. Level 4 for both, 2.69 goe
Curve Lift - with her on his back, he to one foot. Level 3, .35 goe. It was not smooth. I'm surprised they got the level 3 frankly.
Big Tempo Change into what in a Classic Hollywood Musical would be the Instrumental Dance Interlude but here is the
NT Step Seq - The choreo is pretty standard but they do bring a nice bubbliness to it. Level 3 for both, 2.00 goe
And right into the
Chor Char Step Seq - Now this I'd ding them for because it barely has an axis. 2.49 goe And it's barely there before there a flip entrance into
Stationary Lift - Yes, it's the same one they use in their tango. Waste not, want not. Level 4, 1.27 goe
Then steps into a cartwheel flip entrance into
SL Lift - level 4, 1.04 goe
More steps into a
Choreo Lift - 2.61 goe
And a
Choreo Spin - which is nicely done. 2.61 goe
And into the final Young Lovers Looking Longingly At Each Other pose.
Roll credits.
If you forget for a moment that this is LLL, you'll see that it really does have an old-timey Hollywood feel to it. I did research at one point for a film historian specializing in classic Hollywood musicals, so I've seen tons of them. It's not Fred and Ginger, but a dance for the ingenues. It is one of the more complete and fine LLL programs of the season. And it doesn't include City of Stars.
