2018 NHK Free Dance

[yelyoh]

Love Kaitlin. Already giving great face well in advance of anything. She wins the Krilova facial expression award this year.

I feel like walking around the room a lot right now or around the house. I'm so nervous!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I have to admit Soucisse's dress is quite the challenge to describe.

Metal blue with... um... bits of cut out parts?

 

[ancientpeas]

I think one must fake being a Canadian to access the CBC feed.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Their PB is 110 and change from Nebelhorn, but I expect that will come up a bit.

They will need to hit ALL their elements and be clean.

 

[WeakAnkles]

You mean this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPSOoiiO2dI

Well worth watching. She's a bit of a baby diva and he's just like the cute boy next door.

They better not do some Ingmar Bergman Nervous Breakdown Fest next season. I'd be SO disappointed.

Man am I old.

Ice Dancers are actually dancing to my jams from back in the day. *real* EW&F. With Maurice White vocals and Philip Bailey back ups.

I don’t give a hoot what else this team does ever. They have my heart

You are not old. You are well versed in significant additions to our musical culture heritage. And have fine taste :agree:

Metal blue with... um... bits of cut out parts?

I'm still trying to figure out what fabric that is. In some lights it looks like neoperine. In others, a bit like a giant big trashbag that's been the wringer. A tasteful trashbag but still... LOL!

 

[Heleng]

Nervous for Kaitlin and Jean-Luc, hope it goes well.

 

[Colonel Green]

Okay, Carolane and Shane, let's go!

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh yeah. Time for Sarah and Ancient Peas to apologize for Canada.

 

[ancientpeas]

I forgot, I forgot!

From Canada to the world: We are sorry for the Weeknd.

 

[jillredhand]

God I could watch Carolane throw sultry looks at the camera all day.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I love that The Weeknd song, but that remix was done by a DJ who obviously had too many buttons to push on his/her mix board and way too much time to kill.

Carolane makes a compelling justification for The Weeknd's existence. Alllll about Carolane up in here. Shane, okay, he's good. I think Carolane outclasses him though.

He's a solid base. She's the flash and flower. So much potential these two.

I wish they had used the original version of the song. The 1st half of the remix is fine, but the second half is super frantic and distracting.

 

[Princessroja]

That tech score :sad21: I adore these two; I hope they keep improving because I could just watch them alllll day.

 

[ancientpeas]

That TES is a problem for them. :hopelessness:

 

[Lota]

I feel like the costuming is wrong and doesn't suit the music

Actually, I'm not entirely sold that the music suits them either, but I like this pair in general.
