2018 Grand Prix Final Rhythm Dance

[gonewiththewind25]

I actually really really enjoyed the Italians!

 

[IlVoloFan]

Really deserved score for H/D ... That was gorgeous ... With the kp s it will be much better next time

 

[ancientpeas]

Barbara is crying with joy.. how lovely.

 

[ancientpeas]

I am a happy team Italia II now Italia I fan tonight. Brava!

It took me awhile but I have come to really enjoy these two.

 

[BillNeal]

Barbara's intense tango face beats all of these teams

 

[Metis]

You see that level of subtly - and not just facial expression - the excess deliberateness of their carriage and positions - at a local adult dance academies in small towns. That type of performance should not be rewarded.

I agree, but this is the world we live in. I like H/D when they’re weird, but their tango is... :noshake:

 

[readernick]

H/D deserve the lead. I don’t like the program but SS are the best of this field. No doubt.

 

[s_parks]

Two things can be true.

True, but S/B's pcs this season have been next-level hogwash.

 

[NoNameFace]

Oh yasss Barbara, fierce face is ON!!! Someone make a meme like with Raf/Brezina yesterday

Charlene GUIGNARD / Marco FABBRI
Country: Italy
Music: "Miedo a La Libertad (Orchestral)" by Tanghetto; "La chanson des vieux amants" performed by Kantango; "Tanos" by Lino Cannavacciuolo
Choreography by: Barbara Fusar Poli, Corrado Giordani
Costumes: Black dress with sheer back and patterned overlay for her; basic black with red shirt for him

Required Elements:

Slow and sexy tango steps to start. Then a HUGE Cartwheel into
Twizzles - Level 4 for both with GOE. They do twizzle well with great speed and closeness. And it's a fab entry. Level 4 for her, 3 for him. 2.90 goe
TR Pattern 1 - Nice speed. Level 4, YYYY, 2.25 goe
TR Pattern 2 - Level 1, YNYN, 2.21 goe (lost the beat there I suspect)
and RIGHT INTO one of the better
SL Lifts I've seen, with her hand on his boot and rotating. It's pretty close to P/G's Bond lift from last year. Well if you're gonna steal... Level 4, 1.31 goe
Finally! A tempo change! Picking up speed into
Diag Step Seq. Level 3, 2.74 goe

That's the best SD/RD I've seen them skate. They've come such a huge way from where they started. Good for them.


Score: 78.30 and a well deserved SB. They deserve that.

 

[rachno2]

Awww they’re so happy! Somebody open the happy competition moments thread

 

[kevinVchicago]

The crowd really liked G/F.
For me there is no contest when it comes to performance quality. S/B are totally captivating.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

And the best reaction of the night too!

 

[blue_idealist]

Whoooaaaa S/B are in 4th. But I think G/F deserved their 2nd place.

 

[Metis]

Aww, all of Team Italia crying happy tears!

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Charlene's expression in the KnC made me so happy!

 

[lichi]

So happy for G/F. Wonderful skate, and they both look so happy.

 

[anonymoose_au]

I saw 6 yeses, 2 no's?

Oh I meant the first pattern.

OMG B F-P brought the STARE, them judges better score fair!

 

[NoNameFace]

My predictions are fuming in dumpster, but seeing Barbara and Charlene crying is worth it.

 

[BillNeal]

I agree with G/F's placement, ahead of S/K and S/B. They at least have the best tango interpretation.
