2025 Cup of China Free Dance

[auser]

Enjoyed Hannah LIM / Ye QUAN's dance especially the curve lift and choreo hydro move.

Good Morning
Just woke up to Olivia‘s & Tim‘s free Dance.

Oh I just loved that. The emotions from Hannah and Ye’s FDs are always so strong. They do romantic anguish so well.

Wait what IS the official name for South Korea? Isn't it the Democratic Republic of Korea? Don't want to get that one wrong, Chris.

Wiki says Republic of Korea. North Korea is Democratic People's Republic of Korea. And I think CHris mixed both...

That was stunning from Lim/Quan. Gorgeous lifts and choreography. The vocal was overbearing, though. I wish it was just an instrumental.

 

[Sabsi]

Hannah & Ye really know how to touch my heart. Nicely done free for them!

Agree. Could do without vocals. Great performance though!

Loicia is also bringing her (very different) inner diva and so is Theo!

Still trying to work out what Hannah LIM and Ye QUAN (KOR)'s costumes have to do with the music. I take it "Adagio For Strings" was used in a romantic film set during a war.

Hananh's dress was lovely. The vocals that appeared after a while weren't.

On the whole, it was a beautiful programme.

They go into 2nd position in both the FD and overall.

"my enemy" sounded almost like a statement...

The only war movie I can remember where this song was used was Platoon...and in the scene someone died

Loicia and Theo are never boring.

 

[Sabsi]

Great performance, but I didn‘t need that music cut to Imagine Dragons. A really promising team for the future!

 

[IceDancingQueen]

I am not sure how I feel about D/LM’s FD - it’s a weird one to connect to and yet somehow I liked it? Loicia has the most beautiful lines.

 

[readernick]

Loicia and Theo are never boring.

The choreo and performance are so good. They are still working on precision and basics.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

And for the second programme in a row, I don't get the connection between the costumes and the music for Loicia DEMOUGEOT / Theo le MERCIER (FRA).

Was the music used in some sci-fi action film? Or is it just typical French Ice Dance weirdness?

That said, I actually loved everything about the programme. The music, the costumes, and the skating.

They had quite an advantage over Smart / Dieck, so they should hold onto the overall lead.

No. They go into 3rd position in both the FD and overall.

Now they are blue.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow Olivia and Tim are hanging on. Can they make the podium?

I'm torn because I want Zhenya any Geoff to do well too!

The song stands for grief, loss, compassion, but also dignity and humanity. It has often been played at memorials for example after 9/11 or at the funerals of statesmen.
