2021 NHK Trophy: Rhythm Dance

[Lamente Ariane]

That slooooow opening version of Hit The Road, Jack did not do it for me.

It is hard to come in at the last moment. I do look forward to seeing their FD to get a better read on them.

I repeat this sentiment over and over with the Ukrainians: fun acrobatics, but they don't feel like dancers to me, much more acrobats

Well I'm going out with colleagues after work, which is in like 5 minutes so I better get moving.

Good luck Group 2!

Love Misato & Tim's material, but Tim looks a bit more unsteady.

I don’t understand what I watched. Was that street or disco,

hi hi... i had no idea this was starting so early in the day... i mean... so late here so i missed the pairs... and now just in time for the second group... go LALA

I swear I thought Nazarova & Nikitin were way younger than 24 & 27...maybe they've just been around forever

I did really like their lift though.

Won't you take me to funky town...

I missed pairs handholding duty and so far not needed for handholding here.

Bring back the Finnstep!

70 plus is a really good score for M/T.

WHAT is Nikita WEARING

 

[labgoat]

Actually, the two Japanese dance teams have done the best Rhythm dances I have seen this year. Very enjoyable.

It will be a great thing for ice dance if this is what we have to look forward to from more Japanese dancers.

Nikita is wearing a dad shirt

Believe me you are going to have to do some serious handholding for me when the women start

 

[rollerblade]

I see Katsalapov is still wearing that terrible shirt your dad would wear to a backyard BBQ.
At least it's not black leatherette, right.... right?

Bring back the Finnstep!

I was sick of the finnstep. We had it for two seasons.

I'm not sure Blues is my favourite choice. I am, so far, enjoying a lot of the musical choices.

Katsalapov looks like a dad on vacation
