2025 Cup of China Free Dance

[TallyT]

But the other pieces after that used-too-often cover of "Survivor" were good!

I love the costumes. Especially Zixi's!

They were good.

Her costume was fine as it, it just had absolutely no connection to his, and neither to the music.

Now we get black on black, which are much more 'presenting a program' but I always think a couple both in black meld into each other on the screen to much, make it harder to see each's movements. But that's just me.

 

[Karoltyna]

Ohhhh, he is expressive one. Nicely danced.

 

[TallyT]

Oh, I missed the costume switch!

Is that a rocket plushy in the K&C? Interesting choice.

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Morning all! Exciting to see these young Chinese dance couples. Lots of promise.

 

[auser]

Oh, I missed the costume switch!

Darn, me too!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

REN Junfei / XING Jianing (CHN) both in all black. Junfei's dress is gorgeous!

They look amazing, and they are so good at portraying the chemistry between their characters. But the music is far too subdued.

Hey, what happened to the black dress?! It's red now!

No. I normally love a costume change, but this one spoiled it for me.

Eh?! Why have they got a rocket?! Is this a reference to one of their other programmes that has gone over my head?

They go into the lead of the FD, and overall.

Oh, I missed the costume switch!

so did I...

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Love this Batman theme!

 

[TT_Fin]

I thought they had retired? Are they back?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Uhoh I've just finished at church, hope I can get home in time for Olivia and Tim with an E!

I like Shiyue WANG / Xinyu LIU's sleek black costumes. Where is @CrazyKittenLady?

 

[Karoltyna]

I thought they had retired? Are they back?

yup, Chris gliteched while introducing them to not to tell why they were out, boy, he has such difficult job...

 

[IceDancingQueen]

I enjoyed but agree with Chris - feels like it needs a bit of oomph to go with the music. I felt like Shiyue in particularly was thinking about the elements a lot. There was a lack of flow for me.

"Na na na na
na na na na
na na na na
na na na na
Batman!"

Useless piece of information: I once bought a Batman T-shirt because my then current main skating crush (who I now refer to as "my long-time main skating crush") did a Batman programme.

I take it this music is from one or more of these new-fangled "Batman" films. Because none of it makes me think "Batman". But, I've only ever watched the 1960's TV series (an episode of which will be on Talking Pictures TV in an hour from now!)

Both WANG Shiyue and LIU Xin (CHN) are wearing all black. And both look stunning!

The music was really tense and dramatic. And the skating fitted it perfectly.

I loved it!!!

They go into the lead of both the FS and overall.

[Karoltyna]

Ohhhh, why?
