2018 Skate Canada Free Dance

[s_parks]

The crowd was living for this!

 

[GGFan]

Great music selection and lifts from the French team. I'm glad they went the entertaining route because they do not have the skating skills of the top teams.

Major bonus points for using Uptown Funk. And that was well done; TES is nice and high.

 

[Metis]

Great, Uptown Funk, I didn’t hear that song enough in 2014.

This is the first time I’ve heard it. Swear to God.

Then again, I had the flu for the first three months of 2014 and generally don’t remember that year, so maybe autoimmune has perks.

All I could think during the "Uptown Funk" sequence was, "I wonder how Chock and Bates are doing?"

And Piper and Paul made me cry again. I'd say that I can't believe they got me twice but that program is so beautiful that I can't help but get emotional.

 

[Weathergal]

To me, their costumes don't go together.

 

[ancientpeas]

Wow do I like Wang's dress.

 

[s_parks]

I'm living for the fact that these two have about twice the height difference that the Chinese pairs have.

 

[ancientpeas]

I wish Doris or Weakankles or Mrs. P were here to explain why almost everyone is getting level 1s and 2s for the one foot steps.

 

[Princessroja]

Wow do I like Wang's dress.

It's pretty, but it's his shirt that I love best! I love that black smudge/shadow thing on his left shoulder.

 

[cohen-esque]

I really liked their straight line lift.

 

[Holy Headband]

This song, which I've never heard before, sounds like a Bond theme.

I think that the power of that FD is that it sculpts music and character into emotion, feelings, inspiration, like making this sculpture, piece of art that is here to be alive instead of just static to be seen. They took inspiration, infused it within themselves, their story/stories and now inspire others. It is a gift keeping giving back, a quiet masterpiece that challenges to think than just look at it.

I always enjoy Wang/Liu, and I feel like they improve every year. Really impressed by their performance quality here.

okay..you can wear the shirt and I'll wear the dress. When is our competitive debut?

 

[Noxchild]

Ok Rod you don't have to say the Chinese ice dancers are "manufactured" to skate for the Beijing Olympics :disapp:

 

[DanseMacabre]

Wang and Liu continue to be a sentimental favorite of mine. There's just something so charming about them. Really looking forward to an upward trajectory for them.

+1 to this, and co-signed. I really enjoy them.

W/L! A few glitches tonight including some low step sequence levels, shaky dismount on curved lift from what I saw. However, I do like the touches they have added, more angst, and better overall projection. A work in progress and a program that has potential to improve throughout the season .

crowd is strangely quite during the Chinese pair's dance...

I have a soft spot for Asian dance teams
