2018 Skate America Rhythm Dance

[ancientpeas]

Are these two having a rough time or is it just me?

 

[ancientpeas]

The hands on his collar are silly. No other word for it. Silly.

 

[Colonel Green]

Ugh, this program just took a hatchet to that song.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ugh, this program just took a hatchet to that song.

It did...rather Daniil G of the choreographer.

 

[Ichatdelune]

This is one of the more awkward cuts of Chicago.

 

[ancientpeas]

Ugh, this program just took a hatchet to that song.

Maybe the song had it coming?

 

[anonymoose_au]

I do respect their choice of skate guards though, they match the Ukrainian flag!

In other news what does 'T' in the keysteps mean? Something about timing?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

When I grow up, I want to be as beautiful as Alexandra Nazarova.

She is gorgeous, isn't she!

Seems to be a thing with Kharkov girls... :agree:

Alexandra NAZAROVA / Maxim NIKITIN
Country: Ukraine
Music: "Cell Block Tango" (from "Chicago") by John Kander, Fred Ebb; Foxtrot: "Overture" (from "Chicago") by John Kander, Fred Ebb; Foxtrot: "All That Jazz" (from "Chicago") by John Kander, Fred Ebb
Choreography by: Fabian Bourzat
Costumes: Black dress with silver neckline for her; black pants with psuedo-tux shirt for him

Required Elements:

TR Pattern - mixed YNT KPs, but at least they got credit for both with small +GOE (.48/.13)
Twizzles - out of sync and SLOW. Level 3 for both but -.12 GOEs. And that's generous. They were slo mo to the hilt.
Midline Step Seq - Level 3. The NT sequence was good. .61 GOE
Stationary Lift - niceo n the lap position. Level 3. .35 GOE

They had a disastrous outing with this at Nebelhorn, receiving no credit at all for the first section of the TR pattern.

Sharp opening but man, they picked the SLOWEST TEMPO FOR THIS MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD. The program though is meh. Fabian, you're a better choreographer than this.

And I'm a big fan of this couple, but this dance is forgettable.

Score: 58.32 A SB for them. So that's something.

In other news what does 'T' in the keysteps mean? Something about timing?

Yeah, it means they did the step right but not with the correct timing.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

This couple will skate to... Cobra Starship's Guilty Pleasure

 

[friedbanana]

Loved that!

 

[Mrs. P]

Fear and Gibson are one of my new favorite teams. They really have really upped their game this season!

 

[penniavaswen]

I'm exhausted just watching that. Wowzers

 

[ancientpeas]

That was fun. And their FD is great!

 

[Colonel Green]

Fear/Gibson =

Seeing them alongside Tweeddale/Buckland makes it clear who should be considered the UK's #1 with Penny and Nick gone.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

It's amazing how these songs are fitting even down to the arm choreo. This is a lot of fun! Luckily there are a lot of pop songs in 2/4 time

Have Penny and Nick officially retired? Anyone know?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow F/S were fabulous! They totally attacked that!

I loved the lift at the end and finishing right in front the judges.

And they have skate guards in the colours of the British flag!

 

[s_parks]

You could say they had a... Fearless skate.
