2023 Skate Canada Free Dance

[Ichatdelune]

Oh yeah, love me some Riverdance.



Distressing lack of green here though...

Lord of the Dance, so understandably no green

 

[Seven Sisters]

As a person of Irish heritage, I am offended. We are normally much more lively than portrayed here

 

[TallyT]

Horrible horrible costumes, they look like a cross between cosplay sub-LOTR and small village wannabe bikie gang members.

 

[4everchan]

By you? Okay then

@auser may have a say about this though.

if i were offended every time someone uses music from my heritage, i wouldn't be able to watch any figure skating.

 

[elektra blue]

that was so fun!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yaaaaay!

For what they lacked in green in their costumes, they made up for in their GOE! All greens!

Ooh is this real? The 4everchan sharing a paramour?

Oh my gosh I can't believe I commented twice on the Women's FS...........anyways. Loved the Irish music.

I loved the beginning and the ending of that! Really nice melding of Irish dancing and ice dancing. Not too sure about the center section though.

That was really cute, but that's not necessarily what I want to say about a program done by two skaters in their mid-20s Something about this just seems a bit junior-ish, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is

it happened to many of us at least once. @norwegianfairytale and i are masters in this

I was thinking that it looked like they had maybe been trained by someone with a background in Festival dance rather than the more dominant Feis tradition.

 

[Ares]

This felt very ... 90s but in a good way - it only needed a tad bit more drama and uglier costumes for the ultimate feel. I enjoyed that Irish dance of Molly & Dmitre.

 

[Weathergal]

There's something about this team of Lanaghan and Razgulajevs I really like.

The center section does have softer, less memorable music than the beginning and end...

 

[TallyT]

I think I must be the only person who really didn't like that. The small crowd liked it.

I still stand by my words. Mind you, I find Flatley utterly repellent.

Awful, awful, awful.

looks like a good adaptation was made for the ice rink here.
