I was wondering the same thing....

 

[4everchan]

It must, since Jacob Sanchez's SP and Ella Hawkes' FS costumes have to be in there for sure

But all things considered, I think I still prefer to see WTF costume like these rather than just all blacks. At least WTF costumes are memorable lol.

Memorable is one thing. Having nightmares about them, something else.

I now remember this...and now I do not want to remember this

Bravoooooo SaraAtsu!!! Perfect twizzles!!
I love love their expressiveness, especially Sara. Both of them seem to really love this program.

I was worried about the state of Japanese ice dancing after KanaDai's retirement and KidaMori breaking up, but I'm not worried now

Japan doesn't lack promising ID teams
They haven't for a while now
The fed just likes to keep 'em hidden and green

a WTF costume doesn't have age restrictions

Close for the gold. Either team team deserved the win I think but I was really impressed by the Israeli team's interpretation of Ghost Dances. Really brave choice.

(I get the idea behind his costume but I think maybe the execution wasn't so great. Maybe some skull/mask like face paint would've helped)

 

[throw_triple_flip]

Btw, anyone mocking the Israeli team needs to go google Ghost Dances by Christopher Bruce. It's a dance piece that's a tribute to the disappeared victims of political oppression in South America.

Some of the male dancers (portraying death spirits i think?) wear body paint, and that's what the costume is trying to recreate

Here is a performance of Ghost Dances I found on youtube

And a link to an article about it on the Rambert dance company's website

Thanks for giving us the context for that! Now I realized I actually have watched Ghost Dances live on stage before, but I just completely forgot until I saw your video

I agree that Alexei costume makes sense but wasn't executed well, it looks silly which is the exact opposite of what you want from a death spirit. Mask/facepaint will definitely help, and that drawn-abs need to go.
