2024 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance

[4everchan]

Time moves more slowly in your latitude obviously

it was while I was one-handed because I was eating my baguette LOL.. i am back in full force LOL

 

[labgoat]

One of them needs funky shoes...

 

[4everchan]

Pink and red? I think they did not shop together...

At the same time, if you go to a party and start dancing with a dude, you shouldn't necessarily be matched with him I don't like the clash either but I think it's legit .

 

[4everchan]

three teams with mashed potatoes recently... and all of them had at least one ketchupy outfit.

who eats mashed potatoes with that ?
I don't even put it on fries.

 

[labgoat]

Oh a little mishap at the end of that step sequence for her

4. Jennifer JANSE van RENSBURG / Benjamin STEFFAN
Boogie Shoes, Land of a 1000 Dances, choreo. by Pasquale Camerlengo

SyTwW4 + SyTwM4
PSt3
MiStW1 (looked like she might have stumbled forwards out of the twizzle)+ MiStM2
ChRS1 +2.63
RoLi4 (really great upside-down position, best lift we've seen so far)

RD: 68.82 (1st)

...and we're back to this music again. I admire their commitment to period-accurate costumes, and they're both huge performers who are having so much fun with this program. It is very similar to a lot of the work so far this season, though, which is a shame - this team deserves something unique to help them stand out.

 

[Ichatdelune]

She managed to not fall during those midline steps, kudos

Their costumes are in such conflict that they need a couple's therapist but as usual great lift

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Hm. She’s giving it everything, he’s a bit hesitant… also their costumes do not go together

 

[4everchan]

i am probably alone here but i am not a huge fan of these two.. nothing wrong with them... i am just not clicking

 

[Weathergal]

sure but they are also IAM with Moir there

true although I didn't mean it in an anti IAM way so much as just glad to see one of her teams

 

[labgoat]

Into the lead by 4 points over the French

 

[tsuyoboogie]

PIrihara Let's Go!!!

The clash doesn’t bother me so much as that it feels they’re at different parties

 

[labgoat]

Are we at the last couple of the first group already> Go Yuka & Juho!

 

[4everchan]

where is @elektra blue i think we may have a situation here...

 

[4everchan]

The clash doesn’t bother me so much as that it feels they’re at different parties

which party would you like to go to ?

 

[Sai Bon]

BOTH Marie France and Patch are there? And for an early-career team? That doesn’t happen too often

They're accompanying Madi and Evan anyway, aren't they? Why not?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Gaaahh Juho levels on your twizzles

Levels...

They give me life, I could watch that choreo rhythm sequence on loop for the whole day

 

[labgoat]

Very electric program for the Finns! So much energy and expression for them.

5. Yuka ORIHARA / Juho PIRINEN
Disco Inferno, Love to Love You Baby, YMCA, choreo by Massimo Scali, Sini Parkkinen

SyTwW4 +SyTwM2
MiStW2 + MiStM2
RoLi4
PStB (definitely their most cautious element so far)
ChRS +4.25 (that will make up for those dropped levels for sure!)

RD: 67.34 (2nd)

This team is so much fun! I don't know what these pieces of music have to do with each other, but I do always enjoy watching them (not to mention it's a great opportunity for Yuka, since she's Japanese). Their commitment to the choreography and performance is a 10 every time. They get +5 for the matching mini vests and bell-bottom pants. The confidence and speed this team has is a definite step up from our last four - they're definitely going to be trying to make a push into that upper echelons at Euros this year.
