2025 Cup of China Free Dance

[labgoat]

Such ponderous music- dramatic but not really dancing music.
It showcases his strength in their trademark lift.

So all three Chinese Dance teams in this comp are with I.AM. Didn't realize that before now.

Ooh cool costume reveal from black to red for her - well done!

Yes, quite nice, the whole program oozed tangoliciousness.

They must get a group rate...

I liked them the best of the three couples, but I understand why the veterans were ahead.

Giant rocket in the kiss and cry!

So random - it made me laugh

Caroline & Michael. Hi Charlie!
Oh no they are withdrawing - nice of them to show up in costume for the crowd - classy.
Probably better to be safe and not risk injury in lifts if he is hurting.

Looking at the empty logo - so everyone starts in the toilet and or swimming with the dolphins?

Olivia is so serious and looking fierce. She wants this badly. Tim putting on his game face. I hope they will have a fun exhibition this year - I want to see silly Tim again!

Onto Dune part 2 - her dress shows off her fake armor

 

[yuumagical]

The Batman music still seems to be a little too big for Wang/Liu, although the dance lift was nice...

Love the stylized rotational lift in the squat.
Hard to believe 4 years went by and we wished for Tim as her new partner - were we right?

 

[yuumagical]

I was thinking it might be from some type of video game, but seeing as how I'm pretty clueless about those....

I was thinking maybe Tomb Raider? Uncharted? Not really the most familiar with those games, but they have similar adventure elements from what I'm aware.

Cool split duet. This program was worth the wait. I like it. Olivia is smiling! Incredible new lift. Dune 2 is a hit for me. Like the music chosen better - went by so fast. Love it!

Maybe unpopular opinion based on what I have been reading today, but this FD by Chock and Bates may very well be my favorite program they have ever had in their careers. I LOVE the concept, choreography, and costuming, but she does need to shorten that skirt, which could be problematic in high stress events.

 

[yuumagical]

Nooo, not Green/Parsons withdrawing...

I always see a frog profile when I look at the logo. I'm not sure how many years it was until I actually "saw" the skater in the middle. LOL

I enjoyed the Ren / Xing much better.

I enjoyed the Ren / Xing much better.

We definitely agree. Plus reveal was a bonus and a WTF reveal nominee!
