2018 Internationaux de France Rhythm Dance

[Lamente Ariane]

Judges don’t seem too into Smart/Diaz today, at least on the pattern.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Level B. Ouch.

I personally like H/K better among the Spanish dance teams.

Level B. Ouch.

I personally like H/K better among the Spanish dance teams.

I do, too.

 

[LaArdilla]

Loooove the ending!

Olivia SMART / Adrian DIAZ
Country: Spain
Music: Tango: "A Evaristo Carriego" performed by Orquestra Color Tango
Choreography by: G. Cournoyer, M. F. Dubreuil, P. Lauzon
Costumes: Black dress with a lovely neckline, illuion back with overlay lace for her, black tango suit for him.

Required Elements:

Ooh, she's very sharp and precise. Nice. Got into the mood right away. And into the
TR Pattern 1 - Level B, NNNN 1.00goe
TR Pattern 2 - Level 1 NNYN, 1.38 goe
Montreal, you are failing your dancers with these Level B and 1 patterns. Get it together.
Lovely sliding movement with her holding him up. Then into the
Circ Step Seq - level 2, 1.94goe . Hmm, they could up the difficulty of the steps, but what they do do is lovely.
Twizzles - Level 2 for her, 3 for him. 1.02 goe
SL Lift - Nice glide there. Level 4, .90goe
and into final tango pose. And it's an unusual entry into that pose, which is a little last nice suprise.

They do have a lovely feel for the tango. You can tell by the GOE the judges WANT to reward them, but they need to up the difficulty of their steps. She's really sharp in this. It's certainly one of the better TRs of the season.

Score: 68.16

Ah, Nikita, you came out of the womb with tangoface, didn’t you?

 

[Lester]

I am not sure why but S/K look kind of cautious and laboured to me today.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Comparing to the past competitions, this pannel is very strict with the Levels. John Kerr agrees

You're watching British Eurosport now, aren't you?

If that is what you are referring to, then you're right that Simon Reed's co-commentator is a Scottish Ice Dancer. But I'm afraid you've picked the wrong one.

That's Mark Hanretty sitting beside Simon today.

I love S/K! (probably one of like, 5 people on this forum that do)

 

[Ichatdelune]

S/K looked really, really sharp and focused, they are determined to go to finals, aren't they?

 

[blue_idealist]

Me too. Olivia scares me

Yeah, what IS it about her that's so intimidating? I feel the same way but don't know why.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

This is a top performance. Welcome back Nikita. I need a drink now!

 

[NoNameFace]

I am not sure why but S/K look kind of cautious and laboured to me today.

At least on the pattern as seen live...

I like them too!

 

[cathlen]

how did Vikita ended up in first group? They were great!

 

[Lester]

Bulgarian commentator is predicting S/K will overtake S/B.
I prefer them too but I think the fed is backing S/B more strongly.

I agree about the Fed, and prefer S/B LOL.
