I've posting this is a couple forums becuase its really frustrating me and I need to vent....
I just watch a bunch of the ladies programs from SA and SC and it hit me that for the last couple years it seems like everyone is doing Straightline footwork and nothing else. Its really starting to get on my nerves.
I love a serpentine fw sequence which we barely saw under 6.0 let alone CoP. The only one I can recall off the top of my head in recent years is Cohen's from the Lalique version of Swan Lake. In the past it seemed the ladies were about 50/50 on SL vs. Cir. footwork but now we're lucky if we see any circular footwork at all. Its not just the ladies either.
I had though under CoP we'd see more serpentine fw. Since it covers more of the rink the skaters would be able to put in more moves without it seeming as frantic as it can with a SL fw. Or at least they could pack in more points if they wanted.
This is one of the reasons I'm finding a lot of the CoP programs to be similar. I just wish the chorographers would put in at least some circular footwork just to change it up a bit.
