*recycled from 22/23. Looks like she had to change programs? Not too sure, there’s nothing I’ve found yet confirming that it was copyright issues but we’ll see. Could be like her free and decided they were stronger programs

Anthony Paradis CAN
FS: Symphony n. 9 "From the New World" II. Largo, III. Scherzo. molte vivace, IV. Allegro con fuoco , choreographed by David Wilson and Anthony Paradis


This program looks so lovely on Anthony. Plus, I love his open back top surely inspired by Paul P's FD costume last season. But in the white here with the lovely design touches, this open back look for a man works so much better and is much more seamless as well as being uniquely different (which is what audiences anticipate from Anthony Paradis). ✨
 
Sonja Hilmer SP:

Music: Medley from Dave Brubeck and the Dave Brubeck Quartet (Strange Meadow Lark > Take Five > I Get A Kick Out Of You)

She choreographed it herself.


This has not gotten nearly enough attention. This girl is incredibly original, and this SP is so cool. Imagine recording the sound of your own skates and incorporating that into the actual music to accompany a tap dance section. And the spinning knee slide into 2A? Crazy good.

I doubt she'll ever get the competitive kudos I'd award, but no doubt she has a future as a highly-in-demand choreographer.

Edit: Not only is this program self-choreographed, she designed and made her own costume - and it is quirky and fun, and totally in keeping with the mood of the program. Talk about taking ownership of your own vision. Outstanding.

Sad face for the FS... no idea about the SP music... but yeah... disappointing to say the least that Katia would go for such a warhorse

Well, I'm glad to see that you might be mistaken about the FS. They skated that so well at the end of the season, and I don't know what else they could do with it. So, I'm glad we'll (probably) see something new. I'm neutral about the Riverdance SP, will have to wait and see.
