As much as I love Karine Arribert, giving this team an aggressively modernist mime program seems a bit too predictable at this point. Hopefully her senior teams have fresher packaging, as I trust they do.

So French... I love that they're just fully embracing it with the most stereotypical costume and program ever. At this point, the mimes of Paris should take note. This is true performance art. I wonder if there has been some sort of injury, because you can see the bones of this team are so strong, especially in their diagonal step, but parts of this program looked like they just haven't had the time and reps on it.

I gotta go to bed, but that team may well be the Frenchiest Frenchies that ever Frenched. All they needed was some berets.

Uhoh, speak into the microphone, Ted. Wait there he goes.

this is the Arribert-Narce equivalent of Benoit on steroids

I really like this program on Aurea & Earl. It really suits them and they are skating it very well.

Obsessed with the costuming, and I think this is a good program for them. They look very polished overall, and that character step is what I wish all character steps would be.

 

[lariko]

I enjoyed this! Lovely energy.

 

[labgoat]

Choreographed by Jean-Luc Baker!
Something about her reminds me a bit of Alexandra Paul

 

[Ichatdelune]

Messy here and there but I have decided that I like them, they have charm. Also Mlle. C-D's Biellmann was quite nice.

 

[lariko]

No, Ted, shoe analogy was actually pretty good! I like the shoe analogy. Stick to the shoes.

 

[jgg220]

Every program in this group has been crafted and constructed with conceptualization and thought, which is more than I can say about Chock and Bates' material for at least two seasons. That being said, the Japanese team captured my heart the most so far.

Dancing on drunk feet is the best way to not sprain that ankle again, isn't it? My man I told you that I have enough ankles to worry about

 

[lariko]

Oh god, no. Who wakes up in the morning and decides the world needs another RJ program?

 

[saine]

Cincon-Debout/Celestino got their JW minimums back They lost them with the transition to CTES, so it's nice to see that they were able to get them back here.

And now for anyone who was sick of originality and creative ideas, a Shpilband Romeo and Juliet program. Excuse me as I pour myself another Moet mimosa.
