And they have silver!
Ok, so after this event, who's going for sure to GPF? And who has still some chance?
Love your photo of Michal!
Silver!!!:hap93:
Sara HURTADO / Kirill KHALIAVIN
Country: Spain
Music: Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd; Vladimir's Blues by Max Richter; Sign of the Times by Harry Styles
Choreography by: Iker Karrera, Alexander Zhulin, Sergei Petukhov
Costumes: Soft pink dress with postmodern silvery-striped bodice/breastplate for her (striking!); basic black for him
Program Layout:
Steps into
Dance Spin - nice first position but very slow. Level 4, 1.48g Cartwhell exit out and right into
Rotational Lift - with no set up (hard to build up speed so more difficult). Lunge out. Level 4, 1.04g Good stuff
Twizzles - Level 4 for both, 1.60g
Tempo change into
NT St Seq - Level 3 for her, 2 for him 1.64 g
And frankly I loved the steps into and out of the sequence much more.
Music cut/slight tempo change into
Serp Step Seq - which is (gasp!) actually in hold, so good for them. It does have a bit of a dated feel however. The judges ate it up. I only nibbled. Level 3, .90g. They're smart to put it with the music they did.
Now things get a bit shaky...
Curve Lift with leap entry. Level 4, .79 goe. Considering her huge balance check that's a major gift
Chor Char Step Seq - also with a clear axis. Good. Nice and big. But she balance checked again out of it. .62g
SL Lift Level 4, .63
Chor Lift - which is rather simple but effective. 2.28g
Chor Spinning Move - which I think is the single most interesting and original piece of choreography in the program. It's quite unusual and spot on. 2.13g
Well they wanted to try something different and they did. I'm not sure they reconciled the same dilemma that plagued V/M sometimes: how do you integrate a traditional step sequence into a program that isn't trad ballroom at all?
Score: 108.02
Sorry but what nonsense. Absolute nonsense. The last third was shaky as hell.

I think being Zhulin's team helps in Russia. But I am glad they are doing well.

Last 3 places are down to the IdF wire between Zagorski/Guerreiro (2&3) who are waiting for PSquared (11 pts) , Vikita (13 pts) and Hawayek/Baker (15 pts).
It's going to be a blood bath for those last few spots.

Adding my enjoyment of your very thorough pbp and commentary.
I really like Alexendra's dress :luv17:
