2018 Europeans Short Dance

[pearly]

Let's see. My fear is that it will end up like the Paso SD where everyone started to look the same.

In 2006-07 the only ODs I liked were Denkova/Staviski's street-style tango because they were hot and Virtue/Moir's ballroom because they were subtle and nuanced. I still have nightmares of Belbin/Agosto's over-exaggerated ballroom tango.

I just had a look and that is definitely better than what we get these days. But still a bit too showy (as in: show tango) in my book. These sharp movements, kicks, ganchos, it's all so different from the subdued tango that I know and love.

This is a choreographed video, but still catches the sentiment and style I am talking about nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4JP6bX7fo
Check out their body positions, hold, legs and smoothness. That's also tango! :thumbsup:

We will have to wait for the protocols I guess

 

[Jana]

Czech commentators don't know either - long lift or costume failure or something else?

[xeyra]

Oh hey, I'm finally familiar with the dance teams starting from this group on.

 

[Anyasnake]

The level of skating is going through the roof with that group

 

[GGFan]

Tiffani's hair is actually very smart branding. I have never forgotten her since the first time I saw them compete
