2024 Skate America Rhythm Dance

[lariko]

Ah, no, the reigning world champions clawed their way ahead of divine Diana and Shmolkin. Maybe.

1) i was upset about the GOE for their twizzles since they were wobbly... and so much higher than anyone else who did better...

but then, she fell. ... then, they both got level 4 on the MI step which so rarely happens...especially early in the season

i don't know... they will get first place once again with a fall. Skating home while world champions.

Oh no Madison (or did Evan drop her?)

I needed teams to save us now, not this

And I love Madi and Evan, but IMO this mash-up is a complete fail. Who thought this was a good idea.? Time to change RDs again....

Yeah, I really didn't like the mash up of music.

Another "How did they become 1st with a fall" discourse coming up...

I mean, I don't necessarily object to them beating D/S with a fall, so...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

this is how my player sounds when i keep skipping songs and i can't settle on one. who thought it was a nice idea for a program? is this a protest against the very poor decisions dance commitee is taking in the last two years?

Honestly it’s not even a new idea. Hubbell/Donohue had a program with a million jarring cuts like this back in 2016

I thought the fall woke them up and they had an adrenaline burst. I thought they started a bit careful.

 

[Warwick360]

Reminds me of that meme/trope.

Choreographer: How many 60s/70s music do you want?

Chock and Bates (In unison, with a momentary fall): Yes.

I mean, I don't necessarily object to them beating D/S with a fall, so...

And I think if F/G are clean they’ll go into first, so…

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

First place...surpriiiise...not

It usually doesn't work. We will see what feedback they get and if they make changes.

 

[LadyB]

What a surprise!

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Great dance from C/B - so much speed and energy. I think maybe less music cuts would be better - I enjoyed the concept though.

 

[skylark]

Wow. Madison and Evan keep going even after a fall better than anyone! Really impressive.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh that's a given, I was thinking about F/G's scores

 

[LadyB]

Go Lilah and Lewis!!!!!

The Madison and Zach program, as I remember it, was nothing like this, with the voice overlay and the three second clips.

But I could be misremembering.

 

[CellarDweller]

Awwww Freak out! Le freak, chez chic!

 

[labgoat]

I like Lilah & Lewis's program once they stop the cheerleader spelling that goes on too long

I would like twice as many music cuts. They have nothing to lose--challenge themselves, the judges, the audience, and the fate of humanity.
