2023 Grand Prix Espoo Free Dance

That's just Piper and Paul though, and not the program. The theme was well chosen, but different choreography would have been more conductive, I think.

sure but that says a lot about them they have had fabulous programs over the years and enhanced the ones that weren't so great.

I used to have a silky blouse from J. Peterman in the color "wet dirt" and I wondered what happened to it, but it looks better on Ponomarenko than it ever did on me so I'll let him keep it.

Love Emilia's dress - very striking and flattering.

 

[4everchan]

go FBS !

Love Emilia's dress - very striking and flattering.

i wish she wore a more costumy dress given the theme

 

[4everchan]

I don't like this Beauty and the Beast FD. Sorry. (unless they changed it but still)

 

[elektra blue]

so she's the rose and he is what? the curse?

I felt a bit bad for dumping on her RD costume (not her or her skating) and wanted to acknowledge this lovely look.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Holy moly. That was amazing.

 

[Weathergal]

I like Emilia and Vadym's FD much more than I did the first time. They really sold it well, and they seem to be progressing very nicely.

 

[Ares]

Emilea/Vadym are a really good match for each other. They had the best one foot sequence so far from me that featured a counter into twizzles and interesting arms choreography.

 

[4everchan]

to me this is too busy... too many things.. pick and choose and go for refined quality. it gets a bit gimmicky

 

[Ravyn Rant]

The ice dance competition at US Nats is going to be so intense! That program was beautiful.

 

[cheerknithanson]

It's both a blessing and a curse that the USA is deep in ice dance.

 

[elektra blue]

a real serial killer has to look harmless and bland, good job Anthony

 

[elektra blue]

as i said that's a + 5 for in for Anthony
