2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Rhythm Dance

[Seven Sisters]

I think G/P are a good example of how programmes can make you shine or dull - this is the first season they have made smart choices imo

I also loved their Prince FD last season, and actually was disappointed to see they changed it—until I saw what they replaced it with

My mother viscerally hated this program live haha. It's, uh, I hope they get something less polarizing next year. Uh-oh, level 3 MB...

 

[yelyoh]

I don’t see how they placed ahead of H/B with 3 mistakes.

Three? I just saw one. Well that's US judging. I still think H/B can pull it out in the free but if the judges have a preference.. I still think H/B are the better team.

The Bat Dance is starting to grow on me.

3? I only saw Caroline’s twizzle error. Were the rest just levels?

Yes they were levels. I guess it’s overstating to say mistakes.

posted this in the CNats thread - oops!

ok so - not sure about the costume? She looked lovely in the pink/purple. That and the tongue out choreo isn't working for me.

She still doesn't look 100% here - hopefully just nerves! Still should be first, imo.

I agree. I really don't understand the costume change. The costumes they wore earlier this season are so much better for this music. Sometimes teams make costume changes because they sense something isn't working and they think a costume change may make the difference. Not sure I understand this approach but it's important that skaters feel comfortable in their costumes so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. 79+ is very generous for that dance. It wasn't just the twizzle error. There were some other small things. That being said, group 2 is being overscored in general. I'd have at least every team 5 points back.

I’m furious.

I'm not too too worried, the FD is where H/B shine

I'm still mad it's so hard to find a version of that FD with good audio! It was fun!

I will say that though I could never dislike Anthony, being as he is the offspring of one of the all time greatest dance teams, that is a truly terrible RD

 

[kmw227]

Hot in Here?? What decade is it

Edit: Really bringing the 90s greatest hits with No Diggity now too

 

[litenkyckling]

this choreo makes me so uncomfortable - sorry to sound like such a prude! Maybe it's because its Lorraine

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hahaha, oh yes, with this music it's definitely Lorraine under that hair dye

hm, I would say that is incredibly harsh

 

[kmw227]

Heyyyy yaaaa

 

[Lamente Ariane]

hm, I would say that is incredibly harsh

After all, this is a season which has tried its best to bring back the Black Eyed Peas.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Whoa. Just came back after a quick break, and thought Lorraine was skating with Prince Harry!

 

[moonvine]

I think “Hey Ya” was actually the 2000s…

 

[Seven Sisters]

Why? He didn’t choreograph it. He can only skate to what he’s given

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Favorite program of the night. This is the wacky ridiculousness I come to ice dance for

Well that would be interesting.
