Haley Sales going hard for the Tessa Virtue look. A+++ good look.

This almost heals my heartbreak over Jason

Nor me. The Russian link is showing the pairs....

Watching on the big tv in the living room does not work. I can't be on GS and do my duties while the dog sits on my lap and cat sits on my chest. So I am back to streaming on my small computer screen.

 

[MalAssada]

Green should be worn more often in figure skating, it is such a gorgeous colour!

Whoops, I copied the link over from when it was doing pairs. Check it's user profile? They should be doing a live for Dance as well.

Well, I can do the costume replay....

Sales/Wamsteeker:
She's in a green yay backless tango dress, he's in a matching hairdo. They don't fall. Nice, but lifts aren't as impressive as I've seen this season.

Haley SALES / Nikolas WAMSTEEKER
She's in Tessa Virtue-esque green dress, he in simple white shirt.

Compulsory seemed good, maybe a little slow.
Twizzles solid.
They have some nice ice coverage.
Midline steps get a small positive GOE.
Rotational lift also gets a small positive GOE.

Nice, but not sure how high the score will be.

ETA - Ichatdelune says compulsory mainly Ns

57.09 SB

 

[Ichatdelune]

It's oddly disconcerting that they have virtually same hairdos, the buns are almost identical in size... Nice twizzles, but with a lot of Ns for key points I don't think it was their best dance.

I heartily endorse this comment! :agree:

Haley SALES / Nikolas WAMSTEEKER
Country: Canada
Music: Tango: "Compilation 27 Volver" by Maxime Rodriguez; Argentine Tango: "Que Faita Que Me Haces - Forever Tango" by Lisandro Adrover
Choreography by: Matthew Gates
Costumes: Green dress with sheer sleeves for her, Black shirt with white shirt for him.

Required Elements:

Tango steps in hold to Establish the Mood. And still Establishing the Mood. Goodness, they take quite a while to get into the
TR Pattern - .18 goe for the first part. the box stopped then. They need to be closer in the hips. You could drive a truck through them.
Twizzles with hop entrance, nice spacing and sync. Level 4 for both 1.04g
ML St Seq - Good, a tad slow. It's an odd combo of crisp and slow.
Rotational Lift - level 4.

They have a nice look on the ice. It's all very traditional, but as I said, it's also an odd combo of sharp and slow. Skating closer together would help. So would speed skating lessons. But the individual tango movements are crisp.

Score: 57.09 and a SB. They're improving.

*whining* Why is CTV blocking me from using the ISU feed? Why is the TES box so spotty? When will Tracy have to get out the enzymatic cleaner because of Rod Black?

Moulin Vert.

Did you ever see Tessa's blue practice dress for the moulin rouge? She so should have worn that one. I loved that dress. It was perfect.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Green should be worn more often in figure skating, it is such a gorgeous colour!

Shoutout to Carolane Soucisse‘s freedance dress from last season, now THAT was a gorgeous shade of green.

I hadn't realised that Joseph Buckland, skating now, is the ex partner of Olivia Smart, skating next. What a coincidence!
