2025 Kinoshita Group Cup Rhythm Dance

Alicia Fabbri & Paul Ayer
She has Royal Blue Parachute Pants & he in royal blue print short sleeve shirt and black top & pants Everybody Dance Now. Lots of energy and lots of posing and pointing. Good skate.
 
Sorry, I don't know enough about Ice Dance to do pbps~
I don't expect it. Just obvious things like falls or failed lifts or botched twizzles. You wouldn't think those things are common in dance, but we seem to see a lot when we attend events in person (last year's Skate America and maybe 4CC in Colorado Springs).
 
Hannah LIM / Ye QUAN KOR
Both in black Men in Black Outfits. Hers is shorts and no shirt.
So far no major deductions or falls from anyone. All the teams so far are a bit rough on their elements but the energy is real. L & L have the most mileage on their programs and it shows.
L & Q have enhanced their presentation since Lake Placid and sell the program better than before. Ye is really into this program. Hannah is much more animated in this program than Lake Placid. It was close with them and F & A.

But Fabbri/Ayer are well off their PB. I actually expected them to be the highest Canadian team here. Maybe they need some program changes. Good on La/Le! And brave of them to make a coaching change (though not burning bridges with their old coaches. Their bio shows all the IAMO and IAMM coaches).
 
Lily HENSEN / Nathan LICKERS CAN skate a Calyposo to Sexy & Living La Vida Loca. He in black mid-V shirt and pants, she in sleeveless burgundy dress. Safely through the twizzles - final set a bit slow. Nice aeroplane rotational lift for them. Very nice and again no major mishaps.

Fabbri & Ayer need a bit more variety of accent moves - the pointing seemed alot to me. I wish I remembered more and that is the problem. The actual skating seemed fine.

We'll see in the protocols if there was an unnoticed problem with one of the elements.
 
Leah NESET / Artem MARKELOV USA He is dressed in sleeveless vest in black and gold and she in awhite jacket. and black leather skirt .Be my Lover is the music. Nice steps in hold to La da di da. Crisp and nest. all the teams are still a bit slow. Music changes to Backstreet is Back. They too have an assisted backfli[p. They end with the Spice Girls? My impression is third.
 
It is really hard to comment on dance at 3am...I barely know my name let alone music and type
 
I am now caffeinated with caramel coffee and a scone - hopefully this will help.
I also woke up just minutes before the stream started.
 
It was. Mine kept freezing, but not too bad. Better than nothing though!
IF you are using Firefox the post above has an add-on that will help with the freezing. Just reload the stream if it freezes again. The widget works.
 
It looks like a lot of teams got PStB. More work needed or program adjustments?
I think they just need time and attention to this part. All the teams seemed to just want a baseline. Even Z &K seemed less crisp than usual. All the teams were selling like the rent was due.

I think L & L have been working on this program since they missed out on worlds last year and it really shows.
