2018 JGP Ostrava Rhythm Dance

[CaroLiza_fan]

Poles!!!

why so much black?!?!?!

I actually liked the costumes. The thing I would take issue with is his tied up tuft of hair! (It's too small to qualify as a pony tail! )

They looked so upset coming off the ice. :disapp: At least Ted had nice things to say. I hope they watch it back and get comfort from that.

Oliwia BOROWSKA / Filip BOJANOWSKI
Country: Poland
Music: Tango: Duo de Amor by Astor Piazzolla
Choreography by: Jan Mosicki
Costumes: Basic black tango drag for both, he's doing the man pony thing

Required Elements:

AT Pattern - a bit stalky, and basic. Not connection. Missed most key points
Twizzles out of sync, tripped into entry Both get level 3
He tripped going into
Midline Step Seq - Level 1
Curve Lift with split haircutter position for her. Level 4

It was so slow and DELIBERATE, I could practically see them couting steps. You can practically smell their newness

Score: 35.72 (20.38 TES, 15.34 PCS)

Is Sasha Fear related to Lilah Fear from Lewis Gibson partnership? A sister?

 

[WeakAnkles]

Thank you Ted for calling out each team's levels.

 

[NoNameFace]

Ooooo, is this Diana's debut in JGP?

Probably yes, she looks fierce, a cross between Anna Yanovskaya and Rachel Parsons, all that blonde hair

Oh, I forgot! I found a video of Diana and her Mum from practice yesterday which I meant to share:

Yes, I'm pretty sure they're sisters.

Wow Diana looks ready to roll, nice costume!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Is Sasha Fear related to Lilah Fear from Lewis Gibson partnership? A sister?

Yep. There are 3 Fear sisters. Lilah is the middle sister, and Sasha is the youngest. The oldest, Georgia, doesn't skate any more.

Here is where I last talked about them:

Oh buuurn.

I'm curious about Dad, is he in the picture or what?

LOL what is this music?

 

[pearly]

I've never heard Por una cabesa wth lyrics. Nice.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Diana Davis goes better with this new partner, but I am strongly against this version of Por Una Caveza...

Thank You for educating me!

I see the resemblance and I fell in love with Lilah/Lewis' FD at Nepela

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Oh buuurn.

LOL what is this music?

It's the Russian dub of "Mother Knows Best" from Tangled.

I remembered somebody said in the Lookalikes thread that Eteri looked like Mother Gothel. And with her blonde hair, Diana could pass as Rapunzel.

So, I couldn't resist.

Lol between us we got the spelling right.

Diana is said to have hearing problems? Anyone know how severe? You'd never guess from her skating. I feel for her, so much to live up to.

Diana DAVIS / Gleb SMOLKIN
Country: Russia
Music: "Tango: Oblivion" by Astor Piazzolla; Tango: "Por una cabeza" performed by Il Divo
Choreography by: Mikhail Kolegov
Costumes: Red tango dress with halter top for her; Grey pants and vest with black back and white shirt for him

Required Elements:

Twizzles - first team I think with three sets. Both at level 4 and well deserved
NT St Seq - decent level of difficulty
AT Pattern - Mostly yes on the first and no on the second for key points. Much better speed
Rotational lift with a very difficult entry Level 4 and well deserved

They win Best Tango feel of the day so far. She gives good face.

Score: 56.55 931.16 TES, 27.39 PCS)

Have you read the translation of the lyrics? It is about gambling on horses!

Sophia ELDER / Christopher ELDER
Country: United States of America
Music: "Tango Classico by Earl Klugh; "Tango Sensual" by Gotan Project
Choreography by: Igor Shpilband, Fabian Bourzat
Costumes: Basic black dress with lace panel and red head flower for her; basic black for him

Required Elements:

Twizzles 3 sets and much improved from last time. Level 4 for both. Then tango steps into
AT Pattern - MUCH bigger than last time. More oomph. I bet they read what I said last time . Knee slide for her out of the pattern. Nice.
Midline St Seq - She had a bit of a balance check in there
Rotational Lift - one foot exit from him Level 4

Everything was much BIGGER and cleaner than last outing. They've put work into that since last time.

Score: 55.97 (30.39 TES, 25.98 PCS)

SB for them and well deserved. MUCH improved from last time.

Thanks. I think I knew that. I know tango a bit and lyrics are usually to die for. Literally. It's all pain and despair.
