2023 Skate Canada Free Dance

[FlossieH]

I enjoyed that first half more than I normally do with ice dance. I suspect that may change with this second group, though. I tend to struggle a bit with the really exaggerated performance style that has become fashionable and gets the marks at the moment.

steppe nomads...

Actually the steppe was in modern day Crimea and Ukraine. My grandfather was from there...

CBC is Ted and Kaitlyn Weaver.... she is doing a great job

CBC archives the stream, right? I might watch it later to hear her commentary.

What is Leila wearing???

Dang, I wanna see the last three couples, but I'm also having lunch with my parents and I'm bringing the roast chicken so I'm not sure if I'll be able to!

Hey Browns!

just tell them you made a mistake, bought a turkey and it's far from being cooked... then watch the dance... then bring the chicken saying that you got it from the store because the turkey was never gonna get cooked.. you gotta be resourceful.

I mean their coach Igor Schpilband, who has absolutely no new ideas and will simply recycle and mash-up early Davis/White (as posted by @labgoat ) and Virtue/Moir until he falls over dead.

marina was the choreo muse of that time. when she left their coaching team Igor was left doing his beloved tangos.

So P/P are portraying...toxicity?

Piper and Paul are doing Wuthering Heights for their free dance, but not using Kate Bush's song? Well that's just a dang shame.

It's soo cooooold
Lemme in your windooooow

Saulius's shirt back is...interesting

 

[NoNameFace]

Oh geez, here we go again...plus my family dumped predictable troubles onto everyone and I'm now doubly stressed, so probably not booting stream again for my clownish self (I shouldn't regarding family as the person of interest is older than me, an adult and should do something instead waiting for others to clean their mess).

 

[Seven Sisters]

Those little satin sports jackets with Fear & Gibson on the backs are utterly adorable, and I’m far from a fan of twee usually!

vadym is wearing aymoz's costume minus the gloves

Now you’re taking. The Kate Bush version, in all its glory, transformed into an ice dance. I would be here for that!

And this would be my personal choice for Ice Dance Music Selection most likely to trigger the need to hit the mute button

That Choreo Char step seq went from invalid to +2.21 GOE

 

[TallyT]

Not great costumes but Vadym at least is showing the ment how, if basic black you must, make it at least a little complementary to the partner.

Do not like this music.

 

[4everchan]

i never thought I'd see the day when a senior team would skate to beauty and the beast.

 

[moonvine]

I just love Emelia and Vadym. They aren't going to like this score though.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

...is this supposed to be minimalist Beauty and the Beast? Where is the fur? The fangs? The cravates? The tulle gowns? The singing wardrobes? And why oh why are we using the Josh Groban version of Evermore?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Ooo that was nice! Especially for someone who came to ice dance late.

I've never seen this couple before so cool.
