I care because of potential injuries, juniors not materializing in seniors hampered by limited lift range
and excuse me but B/S do not have similar height at all

I'm glad you're are showing so much care and concern for the dance teams. I'm sure they appreciate it. :sarcasm:
It depends on the dance. Waltz is count to three or six! (both ballroom dancers and ice dancers)
No worries, it is not only the height difference. It is also the weight of certain single skaters that this posters hates!I'm thrilled for Jean-Luc and Kaitlin! Have watched him from being a young skater buzzing around at Seattle Skating Club ice shows (and always stealing the show) to now being in first at Junior Worlds. 
So excited for them (and for Steve and Sharon, his parents who are also wonderful skaters!!)
So excited for them (and for Steve and Sharon, his parents who are also wonderful skaters!!)Similar height is an advantage in dance - to have matched line and extension. And Jean-Luc is perfectly able to do dance lifts with Kaitlin.
Hahaha, you're right!! This person is unbelievable, his/her comments are just so negative and full of hate towards so many skaters!
You don't sound concerned, you sound disgusted

Well, if you look carefully at Jean Luc's skates, I believe they have what we used to call elevator boots? He's such a great skater that his edges are still awesome. 
even with that disadvantage. I love their Amelie FD; can't wait to see it again!!

Hi guys.
The minimum for Senior Worlds for short dance is: 28 and free skate 38.
Does that mean that we could technically see some of these pairs at Senior Worlds (I mean the ones that are not listed) if they meet age requirements.
I am thinking of the Chinese, the Greeks, the Turks and especially the Koreans.
Can anyone enlighten me on that?

Reality Check to all those who hype Hawayek / Baker:

Hawayek and Baker have only been skating together for about 1.5 years. That's very impressive. I can only imagine how much better they will get given more time and experience.

So where is your cut off point sky_fly20?
Is a 12cm height difference OK, but a 11.5cm height difference they should split up?
Is it OK to be 5lbs overweight, but 5.5lbs makes it unacceptable, and you should quit skating?
Where do your draw this imaginary line where the judges should give them all -3's for GOE because they don't look of the perfect proportions.
Let's not stop there, what about if the girls legs are longer than the guys?
What about if the girl's head is larger than the guys?
Maybe we had better contact the ISU and get all these offending proportions added as an extra GOE consideration?
The one thing that has surprised me is that you don't think a couple should split up because the girl/guy is ugly!
Good job the Kerrs never listened to you, as they only had around a 3cm height difference!
That didn't stop them medalling at Euros
I wouldn't worry about Baker so much. He is really small and he probably can't find smaller partner than Hawayek (you can see even McNamara is already taller than her). He will most likely wear the same type of skated as Staviski with higher heels.
What I'm sad about is Kosigina/Moroshkin, when I remember their first season 2010/2011, they showed so much promise, but now they seem they don't care anymore. Maybe it's some kind of Gorshkov curse.
