2019 World Championships Free Dance

[oly2018]

The protocols are very interesting. S/K overtook H/D in PCS, which was kind of expected.

C/B were the first team to drop below 9s in PCS, which is interesting. The judges went with them at their last competitions, so I am not sure what happened there.

The Canadanes are already within a point of H/B's PCS. Their rivalry will be an interesting one next season.

Overall, this was fascinating to watch, purely because so many teams are from the same camp. It makes it easy to draw comparisons between the teams and their programs. It did make me appreciate the teams from different camps a bit more though.

Is this real life? MUSICALS SEASON?!?! :yay:

That's what I heard? Everyone is fearful it will lead to La La Land explosion!

Or maybe it's Broadway or something? A new dance pattern is being used I think.

Gabby should burn the top to this outfit. It is not flattering, being clingy and bunching around her boobs may please some guys but... She looks like she's dressed in workout clothing from a dance shop. Better costume next year, yes?

You have to bring that up with Gui. He designs most of their costumes. IDK if he worked on this one, but it is very unflattering.

.....Their skating is so smooth, but I don't understand their connection between them....... The judges won't let them lose, so go crazy.

I don't feel the connection between them either. Hate to say P/C don't do anything for me.

Still, ya gotta love the Japanese audiences. They stay for the medals ceremonies and still happy clap along to filler music!

Do you mean the Kerr’s? If so yes I agree.

The Kerr's are iconic! Remember their reverse lift?! The kilts? That program with the shiny silver costumes?! We need more of that!

I’m totally looking forward to that. Although, I’ll boycott it if there is a LaLaLand explosion. It drives me up the wall!

On the topic of Musicals for next season's RD, I will stop watching ID for that season if two or more teams pick La La Land :dev2: Also, I will stan the team who has the guts to use Rocky Horror Picture Show no matter what

Oh, and +5 GOE for the team that uses my favourite number from Avenue Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJvdGcb7Fs

Shape of you was ace!!! It’ll be forever in my heart, for the memories of my magic time at Euros in Moscow!

I think I love the P/C edit of “Shape Of You” as much as I do because my man-friend-baby-daddy absolutely hates Ed Sheeran with a passion, so trolling him with it in real life will never NOT be funny.

Gabriella PAPADAKIS / Guillaume CIZERON

Costumes: Pink cropped top with pink underskirt and sheer pink overskirt; basic black top with scoop neck and black pants for him.

His costume is purple not black [emoji6]

Currently it's still being assumed that the music options are Broadway, musicals and operetta. The pattern dance is set as at least one section of Finnstep, though, we know that much.

Finnstep, I think. But maybe set to music from Broadway, musicals or operetta, I’m not sure. This should favor teams with a light, whimsical touch, and a sense of humor. Those who are so very serious, or so very ethereal, might have a harder time with this theme.

Yes, stupid spell check at 3am

They did Linkin park too..

 

[kevinVchicago]

Gabby and Gui scored so high the tech box broke [emoji3]

On another note: Did I just... fall in love with P/C [emoji50][emoji51]

Let the love flow! They are so beautiful.

I like the sound of that!

So, it’s 7.20 a.m. and I’m pouring myself a glass of wine, since I feel I haven’t slept in three days. See you at the Men’s! Cheers!

If they competed now (and had better costumes, I’ll admit that!) they’d be a top five couple. We need another folk year so we can see more kilts.

Yes, stupid spell check at 3am

Yup and made it to the GPF that season. They were robbed imo.

I couldn’t watch but looking at this thread I’m not sure if everyone is happy or sad. I’m gonna watch later while reading. x

Holy McMoly. Musicals are LIFE. LIFE, I tell you! Yuzudaughter and I have been to five of them in Toronto’s theatre district in the last four months.

Piper and Paul MUST skate to the Come From Away OST. I demand it. I’m currently using telepathy on Carol Lane right now. I can’t think of a better ID team to pull off a Newfie theme. Someone just HAS to do it, we’ll be in Canada after all!

Now I just need a team for the “Dear Evan Hansen” OST... hmmm... Ohh, that’s tough. Slight seque: WE just saw DEH in Toronto ten days ago, and I swear I’m STILL crying after the fact. Twas so so SO very good.

All Fosse musicals must be forbidden. Sigh. Well, maybe Chicago can get a pass... it’s always been one of my favourites.

POTO: automatic disqualification. We must finally come together and KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Ok, I’ll stop this thread derailment and let everyone resume their regularly scheduled post-worlds bickering.

And you KNOW Lewis Gibson would be up for wearing a kilt!! Bring on folk dance, I say!

If true, I hope someone utilizes The Book of Mormon :rofl2:

Methinks it might have something to do with creating a design for Gabi’s top that was as far away as posssible from the design of the costume that caused last year’s wardrobe malfunction.
