2023 Skate America Free Dance

I believe she let Tim chose the music, so if that's the case, she's definitely a risk taker... And I that as a fan...

I mean in case of snagging, it being pulled out, and yikeness happening.

I loved the Browns! They were fast with good.ice coverage.

The "Spanish" team was again overmarked. Slow, weird program, not very convincing. Politics!!

 

[CellarDweller]

I approve of drive by threats but not of stopping to shake it and/or ask for tips

they didn't ask for tips, they gave it away for free. LOL

I can’t help it the ruffles make my inner 9 year old happy and he’s got a nice teal so not fully background at least

an improvement from last year scarecrow costume

Quick poll: Who is Olivia meant to be in this program?
A) Priscilla
B) an obsessed Elvis fan girl
C) the personification of fame
D) the American public at large
E) Other/none of the above

E, he is a monkey, she is the monolith, that is the only explanation I can think of.

Olivia: YOLO, I’m not retired yet so might as well LIVE!

(In all seriousness, she did do that bonkers ballerina mime program w Adrian so she might also enjoy weird concepts)

Love the teal on Michael Parsons. Not sure about her dress. The melting numbers on Madi's dress are very Dali - perhaps inspired by Evan's art museum trips

I think this skate still isn't fully baked yet. They keep reworking the music and the choreo and have to concentrate a lot right now. The lifts and some other moves seem very careful right now.

As to the story, this is my best guess. She meets up with the guy from the Blondie dance and he woos her with some Elvis charm, but something is off - the voice doesn't sound right and she becomes suspicious. Eventually he reveals himself to be charming, but evil. Since her daddy was crazy, she goes along for the ride and finishes her walk on the wild side.

Is it bad that this explanation somehow helps?

I'm quite sure Olivia said she chose the music for Elvis, it was her idea.

Oh totally agree - didn't mean to imply otherwise. I was just thinking her risk taking goes beyond that. I really like this team and hope they can find their groove. And I like quirky, but this program, I'm just not so sure of. I don't want it to stand in their way of finding success.

I’m nervous for the Canadians. This is the Canadian team on the bubble to make it to the GP Finals. I’m also conflicted because I like the team from Czech Republic

I really do not like this kind of music that means and says nothing... It is more and more and more popular in ice dance.... even my parrots are doing this ....

Which program are you referring too?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This is my favorite Green/Parsons FD to date. I think it’s even better than their FD two seasons ago. Standing ovation from me at home!

 

[icewhite]

They are a bit slow, but I really like them and this style. It's also just a good fit for them.

 

[FlossieH]

That was pretty. I know that there's a maximum lift time, but is there a minimum one as well? The pencil lift seemed quite short.

Lala's FD =not my cup of tea... G/P's FD definitely not my cup of tea.

G/P. Great outfits. Really good program and a great skate.
