2025 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge Rhythm Dance

[elektra blue]

thank you Alycia for reminding us how bad fashion was in the 90s and for proving us that you two can be a lot of fun

Someone on the YouTube chat through one of the Canadians is Marco Fabbri. I will say this program has a similar taste level to last year's robot FD. And that taste is boombastically tacky.

Lovely to hear the cheers for Fabri/Ayer here. I love watching their dances.

The Germans had all the passion, desire, and funk of a white bread and hummus sandwich garnished with one of those apples from the K&C.

Okay that screeching mess of music that the Browns are skating too makes me feel like chickens are getting killed to make McNuggets.

As much as I love them, I cannot concentrate on their skating however fine.

 

[labgoat]

Honest I am in a great mood, I have two whole days off and I want to watch skating.

Shania!

Yay! Arrived just in time for the Warm-Up.

Ah, didn't notice that both of Sara and Kirill's Spanish partnerships were going back-to-back! Are they both there, so they can take one partnership apiece?

Briefly saw Sofía and Asaf creeping into shot a few times before they were finally focussed on. And the first thing we saw was Sofía nearly kicking Asaf in the head! Don't worry, it was just part of the choreography! And the choreography looked really good!

We saw Sofía briefly again in shot during the last minute of the Warm-Up

And that was all we saw of them.

Right, the coverage of Formula 1 Free Practice 2 is starting now, so I won't be able to watch any more of the Ice Dancing LIVE. But, I will catch up on Sofía and Asaf when it finishes.

The colors in that palette match the music selections: garish yellow for Shaggy, blueberry surprise for La Bouche, barf green for "Jump Around," red wine for all us, luxurious black for "Everybody Dance Now," wonder breadwhite for Backstreet Boys, and also the same white for the white white whiteness of all of these people trying to be funky like my nephew's bar mitzvah dance floor in Brighton Beach circa 1991.

Great for you! I'm leaving right after the Rhythm Dance and cannot see anything tomorrow

a top hat of course

I wanted to love a Shania program but

Man, I feel like that don't impress me much.

a top hat of course

That's a way to save the moment.

They skate to Be My lover which is much easier on the ears. They skate more in hold than the Browns but do not move across the ice as fast until the ubiquitous BBB music kicks in.

I love the Swedish team but enough of these Ricky Martin programs! I ate enough stale nachos in the '90s for six lifetimes. And don't get me started on chimichangas. . . .
