McNamara and Carpenter's SD is to African music, not a samba, so that explains the dress. I thought it was a little odd, because McNamara/Carpenter skate to POTO for their FD and the Parsons skate to Notre Dame De Paris. I don't understand why the WISA coaches are choosing music that has been used by Davis/White before. Running out of ideas perhaps?
I sort of figured on the M/C SD theme, but still think the dress looks kind of odd.
I love Lorraine McNamara's SD costume and it suits the music so well. This team has grown on me quite dramatically over the past few seasons. They possess a style all their own and have good technical skills--I find them a lot of fun to watch. The only thing that irks me about them is their prolonged and over the top preparation before they strike the opening pose--before every single program! ��
