2018 JGP Linz Rhythm Dance

[WeakAnkles]

Sofia SHEVCHENKO / Igor EREMENKO
Country: Russia
Music: Tango: La Cumparsita
Choreography by: Alena Samarskaia
Costumes: Black and red dress with tank back and back cutouts for her; basic black with red shirt for him

Required Elements:

Nt St Seq (circular) My goodness they have grown up.
Twizzles - sharp
AT Pattern - Lovely lovely --it really flowed the way an AT pattern should.
Straight line lift to sliding exit. Nice position on this

By far the best. Maybe better than last week's couples

Score: 64.26 (34.63 TES, 29.63 PCS)

 

[flanker]

As expected, S/E points are high above the rest.

 

[SnowWhite]

Interesting - IIRC, K/N were a bit higher last week. Of course, hard to compare across different comps.

 

[Colonel Green]

64.26. Lower than K/N at Bratislava, though it’s hard to compare scoring between events like that. So, comparable range.

 

[hanyuufan5]

Wow, Shevchenko and Eremenko were giving me a serious Virtue/Moir vibe. (Don't kill me, V/M fans! )

Does anyone know what that Russian song they played during the replay was? I like it.

 

[SnowWhite]

I love Marjorie's dress

 

[WeakAnkles]

Man youtube SUCKS today. It's like being back in 2008 with all the glitches and stop/starts. So I'll try, but it's going to a tough one to pbp if I can't get a good feed. Grrrrr.

 

[Colonel Green]

Several teams boldly eschewing red in this flight.

The music they are playing during the warm up is hugely distracting. I hope that in the rink they are playing something else! Flight of the Bumblebee :eeking:

I found it from some of the lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAuzNXGmkL4

"the color of mood is blue"

 

[SnowWhite]

Nice, but definitely not quite at S/E's level.

I remember they played us such mixes during my dance lessons

Eva KUTS / Dmitrii MIKHAILOV
Country: Russia
Music: Tango: "Prelude and Ricercare" performed by Nuevo Tango Orchestra
Choreography by: Sergei Plishkin, Ekaterina Vinogradova
Costumes: Plum dress with sequined edge trim for her (with a lovely strap pattern in back); basic black for him

Required Elements:

Curve Lift - nice entry. nicely done
NT St. Seq (midline) - very staccato
AT Pattern
Twizzles - 1st set out of sync, got better with last two sets.

It honestly felt like they were skating TWO tangos..a VERY staccato, European-style tango for the ST Seq and a more flowing AT. I found it very disconcerting.

Score: 58.63 (31.13 TES, 27.50)

 

[hanyuufan5]

Wow, they were so close together with such good flow during those sequences. Very impressive.

I found it from some of the lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAuzNXGmkL4

"the color of mood is blue"

Thank you!!

 

[SnowWhite]

Stream is struggling again.

 

[SnowWhite]

Her blue dress is like Tessa's practice dress with a bit more sparkle.

 

[zounger]

Do they play a song from the country that is currently performing? :thumbsup:

Sara CAMPANINI / Francesco RIVA
Country: Italy
Music: Tango: "Ejemplos de Percusion" by Color Tango; Tango: "Ventarron" by Color Tango; Tango: "A los Amigos" performed by Orquestra Forever
Choreography by: Matteo Zanni
Costumes: Lovely blue dress with cut out back and sequined neck and cuffs for her; black suit with grey shirt for him

Required Elements:

NT St Seq (ciruclar?) Youtube was glitching madly. Ah - midline, Thanks Ted.
Twizzles - Nice but 2nd set a bit pirouhette-y for me.
AT Pattern-- odd entry, need to clean it up. It needs more extension, matching, closeness. It's not bad. It just looks a bit sloppy.
Rotational lift

Score: 54.09 (31.23 TES, 22.86 PCS)

 

[TheBallerina]

Oh what a beautiful dress :luv17:

 

[flanker]

Oh, my, why it is always freezing at the beginning of each dance?
