2014 Skate Canada Free Dance 11/01

[Doggygirl]

G/P high tes 43.2 their tes 48.79.

My favorite part of that dance was pipers blue dress and their lifts.

I missed the start of the program, but what I saw looked great! I thought Piper and Paul captured the spirit and character of their program really well throughout.

good tech score for Piper and Paul, we'll se if it will be like that later...Overall a charming program but lacking something,..

 

[wordsworthgirl]

I loved that from Piper & Paul! Adorable, fun, and very much in the character/style of the music and time period.

Are they a couple in real life?

 

[BounceAround]

Carol Lane looks fabulous.

Crispness and snap , but this will come with time. Lovely!!!

They are so not Vivienne Leigh and Clark Gable, so not Scarlett and Rhett. For one, they're just too young. For two, she is not coquettish or diva-like at all and he is not the dashing bad boy at all. For three, they don't skate with intensity, passion, or melodrama. The program does not work at all for me. and I'm a big GWTW fan and wanted to love it too.

Yeah, I want to like them because they seem likable. But I feel like they pick challenging music/themes* that might work better when they have a wee bit more experience.

*Didn't they do a Bollywood program similar to Davis/White?

 

[burntBREAD]

Beyonce, Lana del Rey, and Fergie in one program? (Even though it's all from Great Gatsby)

Not in the least. LOL

Loved their program.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Decent skate for the most part by H/D, but I'm not a fan of the program or the costumes.

The final rotation lift/spin is wonderful, that first lift looks like a day and a half's work. But it was performed exponentially better than it has.

This dress is much more flattering on Madison than the one last night. Like this young and modern dance for them. Especially after gwtw.

 

[sequinsgalore]

Aw, Zach fell on the ending pose...

 

[auser]

What was Madison's injury? I don't recall right now.

Note to Mr Donohue:

If you screw up, it is not the best idea to send the audience a Western Union telegram to that effect. The first rule of any performance: the audience won't be as aware of a screw up if you don't highlight it. You practically put kleig lights on it. And what happened to your costume? Did the airlines lose it? You look like you're skating in rehearsal clothes.

That program is NOT going to do well with the judges, who think rock and roll stopped in 1959, let alone dance music.

Loved their program.

Gravy, are you joking?! They ARE a couple?

It's too bad, because it is an interesting concept (and as I've said the music is really different/modern and I like it!)

 

[jwren]

I really, really liked Hubbell/Donohue's FD. I thought it worked. It's their first time competing since what, February? It'll only get better from here What was the second deduction for, I wonder?

 

[Doggygirl]

M/K high tes 48.2 their tes 42.36

Twizzle problems?

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Nice speed by M/K, but I found the program a bit frantic in places. Also, their costumes reminded me of skunks.
