Has anyone heard about the brand new ice dance and pairs competition called Dance Chicago happening next week? Does anyone know who's going?

Don't know anything about teams from other countries as I don't have access to the Kiss & Cry threads on FSU.
... Hopefully results will be available to public in some form. ...
Thanks a lot - I had forgotten about the Facebook page.For photos of results sheets, see ice-dance.com's Facebook album:
Re Hawayek/Baker, ice-dance.com also had a new article yesterday about them.
There is a slight chance that some video will be available later if someone in attendance filmed and is going to upload it somewhere. This competition is not streamed, so no "official" videos.Is there any video of Hawayek and Baker? Score looks very healthy.
Hawayek/Baker's score looks okay for the beginning of the season, considering what kind of competition this is. I was expecting higher scores from Muramoto/Reed, but we'll see what score they get for their FD and what happens later in the season. Last season they seemed like a team that could improve their results even more quite quickly - PCS wise and overall. Perhaps I was mistaken - hope not.
This FD is boring to me--I don't like the monotonous unchanging tempo. I felt this way about most of the soporific Lake Placid FDs as well. Seems obvious to me these teams are trying to channel P/C and can't pull it off. Jean-Luc, while a really nice skater is no Guillaume Cizeron (but then, who is?). At least two of H/Bs lifts look like same old, same old. And I did not see one interesting highlight in this program. That was a big criticism of mine at Lake Placid as well.
On the plus side, Kaitlin's dress is lovely. Glad to see she's ditched the empire waist of recent seasons. The current look is much more flattering.
I'm praying that the top teams e.g., C/B, W/P, Shibs, and even P/C bring some mojo back!
