2024 Cup of China Free Dance

Yaaaay, yaaaay!!!

It'd be fun if they started with the old Windows XP start up music.

Also Marco is mighty.

 

[TallyT]

They are good, but I do not like anything at all about this program. 'Pushing boundaries' is not good if all it gets us is something unpleasant to watch.

This FD is all over the place... sometimes they are robots and having these sharp moves and then they go and glide... and leave character. It just doesn't work. Also, twizzles were NOT good for Marco. All the lifts were "adjusted" and not effortless.

I don't know. They have shown such better skating in the past.

 

[anonymoose_au]

LOL as ever my weird opinion...

The robot moves are my favorite part!

G/ F are just so amazing as ice dancers. The partnering, the skating, and this program is different. This program definitely won't be to everyone's taste but I like a lot of the interesting choreo in it. The end just falls a bit flat.

I appreciate the innovative lifts and shapes G/F create in their positions.

Well done Charlene and Marco in a dance that demonstrated their skills!

Ah, I recognise this music from last year. But they're trying to confuse us by changing their costumes. Pity, I preferred the old costumes that one of our members found were bought off a certain internet site. These costumes don't even look like robots. They look more like armour.

And they've got rid of introducing themselves at the start. Pity. I liked that.

No, it didn't have the same impact that it had last year.

That said, they were still very good.

Personally, I want Lajoie / Lagha to win.

This program seemed directionless in France, but it seems that the direction is a little more clear now for G/F!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh hey Barbara got her stopwatch back, I swear she didn't have it in France, maybe that was the problem there.

Yaaaay! Marjorie and Zach get silver! And Olivia and Tim 4th!

124.29 for Guignard/Fabri is considerably behind what Chock/Bates and Gilles/Poirier have scored at their best.

Great to see CharCo had a better skate this time around. The ChSq is fun, but the entire dance still felt a bit tentative. I hope they can keep improving it.

I guess this means both CharCo and LaLa are in the GPF right?

I think it started well this week, but they need to change the end or commit to it better.. They will fix the levels by GPF and hopefully make the program work better by that time.

Awww, Charlene and Marco are so cute!

Go

Who doesn't like robot moves? Lol. I enjoyed the robot moves a lot more this time around.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh, hurry up and end the broadcast. I want to eat my breakfast before the girls come on.

So, advancing to the GPF are:
1. Fear/Gibson
2. Chock/Bates
3. Gilles/Poirier
4. Guignard/Fabri
5. Lopareva/Brissaud
6. Lajoie/Lagha

Not sure if that is the correct order, but I believe so.

Thank you! As long as they are there, I don't care about the order.

I think the transitions between robotic moves and smooth moves could be better done. Especially since "robot mode" is not their default operating system. I agree that better commitment would really help with the overall cohesiveness.
