2024 NHK Trophy Free Dance

[Dawn825]

Didn't follow that program at all

 

[readernick]

Really just a great team. They have the unique choreo and good basics. And, I like their costumes a lot.

D/LM still looking a bit shaky but I enjoy this program, it's a proper Arribert-Narce-esque program and they sell it nicely. I hope they can garner everything into place for the major competitions

I’m not sure l got Giselle from that, but I did like it. These two seldom disappoint; I was going to say, “never disappoint,” but then I remembered the Michael Jackson from yesterday, and had to reconsider

Théo is wearing his name very well.. Those costumes are fabulously well done and well fitted

Yes it shows off his back line very nicely I see they were saving all the costume brownie points from yesterday for today

I love France's dance teams... the top 4 of them are quite memorable and they have a couple great junior teams coming up too

To be fair Giselle is not very obvious in the Akram Khan ballet either

Y'all care about Allison's WTF-adjacent tutu when M. Saulius is wearing a tux and eyeliner? How?

I can appreciate the wonder of both.

 

[Dawn825]

Can't get over how huge and packed this arena is...

@readernick your avatar would recognise the last part of their music

My beloved Arvo.... but not nearly enough of it.

I can appreciate the wonder of both.

In multiple senses of the word 'wonder'

Hardly a seat to be found in the place, I hear.

Loicia and Theo was amazing, I liked it their FD. Was beautiful

 

[Dawn825]

Didn't love those curve lift positions tbh

Ummm... by Japanese standards this ain't that big or that full. It is however much better than the three before it.

 

[4everchan]

1) His costume looks much better from closer
2) Trivia for you, the violinist from Spiegel im Spiegel is Angèle Dubeau... She just announced that she is forced to retire due an injury (music related).

 

[Lamente Ariane]

My mother: “oh no, I think this is a great song being ruined by a bad cover. Oh no.”

(I was just glad to move on from Spiegel im Spirgel, that is getting so overused that it makes me cranky)

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Very nice musicality and upper body usage in the ending part

 

[Princessroja]

Oh wow. I hate the lyrics on that music but that was beautiful from G/P. They have such a grace and elegance to their movement quality.
