2024 European Championships Free Dance

[Lamente Ariane]

(has Joe Hisaishi been informed? I seem to recall he is… very exacting about allowing his music to be cut. If he hasn’t, no one tell him before worlds!)

I enjoy this simple and lovely waltz so if this wasn't sanctioned by Hisaishi Joe nobody tell him

 

[EdgeCall]

That was beautiful. I love Hisaishi's work and I wish I could have enjoyed the H/B's skating more but I'm again back to 240p.

This dance from Holubtsova/Bielobrova was gorgeous. Smooth like silk. And I love the music, I don't know why Spirited Away OST is rarely used outside of ... singles. I honestly don't recall another Free Dance before them set to it. Generally Joe Hisaishi should be used more often. And less Lara Fabian ...

i'm pretty sure it is. it's the same cut other skaters use

Probably at least in part because the composer has been known to send C&D letters when he doesn’t approve of the cut

and now one of my favourite tangos of the season

 

[amanda b]

I do hate men skating with jackets flapping everywhere.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Mgzavrebi's music is great and more teams should utilize their works, I have no idea why the teams representing Georgia don't

Little off topic of this thread, but they invited Josefin Taljegård to the gala Again, they are the greatest host!

 

[bartlebooth]

That was hot

 

[norwegianfairytale]

That was great

now, judges, give them everything

 

[cailuj365]

What an amazing tango. Loved it!!

 

[Ares]

This was the best that I've seen Germans skate it this season. A good program but somehow not big into it, I liked the other tango in the first flight better.

OK folks I jumped into this thread briefly, saw "H/B", and I swear to the skating gods I thought:

"What are Hawayek/Baker doing at Europeans"?

I know, context is everything.
