These two need a thread of their own!They won 2014 junior world's and moved up to senior's!!!
Plus, I was super excited by their senior debut, because I loved their FD of 2015 to Amelie!

Yay!!! *squeals* Ohmygoodness, me too!!! I love both W/P and H/B ~ So excited to see what they choose for programs.
Also, I posted the Smucker's special because of the lifts in it...they're so good for being so young and rather newly paired.
And yes, doris - they both have twitters and instagrams.
Might be that it's going to be another 4 years of NA domination in ice dance - with all the drama in Russia and everythingYay!!! *squeals* Ohmygoodness, me too!!! I love both W/P and H/B ~ So excited to see what they choose for programs.

My prediction for Olys 2018: Gold for W/P, silver for H/B and bronze for (I really want this for them) Hurtado/Diaz! In the mean time, Worlds podiums will be a mixture of C/L, W/P, H/B and G/P

You might want to vote for Kaitlyn & Jean-Luc for the reader's choice award
You can vote as many times as you want. You do not have to be logged into icenetwork to watch any of the videos from the 2014 US Figure skating championships either. Meryl & Charlie's FD is shown...without commentary, including the slo mo, and the K n C. Jason Brown's is his Prince SP. Kaitlyn & Jean Luc's is their kick-*** Quickstep/Foxtrot SD
I had to do right click and open in a new tab to get them to play.
I doubt they play on mobile devices, because IN has it's vids in Adobe Flashplayer, but still it's nice to watch all those programs without having to sign up. Some are LPs (D&W) some are SP's (Jason Brown) so until you watch you won't know which to expect.
Enjoy!

TMC: Shut the front door! Right now, a dream 2018 podium for me includes W/P and H/B too!!!I hope that over this year and the quad that they pick up more fans because they're fabulous!
~ Also, I sort of <3 the friendship that W/P and H/B appear to have. I think this quad may be a great one for DSC and Camerlengo and Krylova!
Thanks snowflakebeautiful for posting their exhibition. I hadn't seen it before now! I don't follow juniors but was bored and watched their Amelie free dance the other day and was just smitten. Those edges, especially on Jean-Luc, and the lift when she's balancing with her hands on his hips...they truly seem special to me.
How do we think they'll place against the other American couples this season?
You're welcome; and yes! I love that exhibition! And I was super impressed with how well they executed that lift as well.
I think it'll be interesting to see how they do as compared to the other American teams. We do have quite a few ice dancing teams, but none of them have been stand-outs exactly over the past quad, imo (granted they've been under the DW shadow like the Canadian teams have been under the VM shadow) ... where as I feel H/B have stood out in juniors, but this will be their first senior year... I feel like it's a wait and see at this point. But personally, I'd really like them to rise quickly to be a top contending American team!
I'm anxiously awaiting their program choices for this year! I just want to know already, haha. And off topic, but did anyone else see what Kaitlin tweeted to Kaitlyn/Andrew's twitter? Haha, I do like their friendship! And I'm so pumped for NHK.
My thoughts exactly! I envisioned another US/Canada contest but since W/P are a bit older, I'll give them the gold in 2018 and H/B will dance for theirs in 2022Thanks doris!!!

ETA I just realised that since their GP events are later, they may come to Finlandia Trophy this year!!! Fingers crossed! Tessa&Scott came last year but I missed them
To be honest, I wouldn't think that a bronze at nationals is beyond them!
And oh man! I'm sorry, missing VM would be sad if they were super close. I mean I was sad their names weren't on the assignments even though I knew they wouldn't be.
I know....I envy all those who got to see either Tessa&Scott or Meryl&Charlie live!
And oh man! I'm sorry, missing VM would be sad if they were super close. I mean I was sad their names weren't on the assignments even though I knew they wouldn't be.
I'm hoping V&M will part of the dance-themed fifth Disson show that is supposed to be announced this week. I have a dim but persistent hope that Kaitlin & Jean-Luc will be included too.
Oh wow - if either or both were involved, it would make me so happy!!!
I was just wondering if anyone else is bouncing out of their seats right now because these two cuties are about to have their senior debut at Lake Placid in an hour or so?!?!

is there a live stream or will anyone be making videos? really, really like these two.
Great, I hope some video
There is a live stream, but you have to pay for it. I'm really really hoping for some youtube videos and word on what their music selections are!
I am sooooo looking forward to seeing them for the 1st time as seniors!I was just wondering if anyone else is bouncing out of their seats right now because these two cuties are about to have their senior debut at Lake Placid in an hour or so?!?!
