2022 Winter Olympics: Rhythm Dance

The panel is not in good mood today. The score box often looks like "yellow brick road".

So then, does this give you anxiety? (It does for me.)

Again, Montreal should be booed and hissed for foisting yet another disco program off as "blues," but H/B's dance actually did have a BLUES feeling. No it wasn't the best technical pattern, but for me it was the ONLY pattern I've seen so far that actually conveyed what I think a Midnight Blues pattern should be: sultry, sexy, a bit languid. The dance equivalent of foreplay.

I do wish the powers that be would stop foisting what they think as "hip" and "street" patterns on the Olympic season, in the hope that it will pull in a younger audience. It doesn't. I'd rather see a great Golden Waltz or even (yes, I'm going to say it) a Yankee Polka than this mishmash of "desperate to be relevant and contemporary" styles on the RD. If that is the wish, why not create a contemporary pattern that truly is contemporary.Remember, hip hop is heading into its FIFTH decade as a musical genre. But given how the FD official world is about 75 years behind the times, that's par for the course for them.

Love you H/B. Glad to see you in first at the moment. You bring it.

Honestly, I think Nathan Chen does better hip-hop than almost all of the ice dancers, lmao.
