As for P/B I think they should change their training enviroment. They are so much better than what's Igor giving them
, but I see your point about 'more interesting dance' though, it really is applicable to many teams, even top quality ones...My post is more of general reflection I have on Charlene/Marco way of performing I gather
This SD was a struggle to ALL the teams. Either they are dancing/ making faces very awkward or cringy.
The costumes are also on the W-T-Fck level.
Zero latin vide. G/F getting 8s in Performance and Interpretation? Who the fck are you kidding? 6 should be the highest score all the teams got in PE and IN.
No I agreed with most of what you said. I've been watching them now for years, and the improvement is marked. But their programs. Oy. Barbara is notorious--or she should be--for taking whatever made a big splash LAST YEAR--and foisting it on them the next year. I'm thinking back over their programs and these are the moments I remember: the twizzles from their FD last year; Schindler's List. That's why I say they simply need better programs. They are never going to break into the top tier until they do.
Oh. The French are a costume violation waiting to happen.
And they did get a costume violation. Anyone know why? I don't know the ice dance rule book by heart so I'm not sure what, other than piece of costume on ice, gets you a -1.
Hey NNF! Hope all is well with you too. Yeah, all I kept thinking when I watched L/D was why are they superimposing Russian Dramuh on Latin Drama? Holy Cognitive Dissonance Batman!
