What an adorable team. This program is such a good fit for them, the choreo character steps were great ❤

I am finally catching up to live feed on the really adorable free dance.

That was unabashedly cute and adorable, and I thought they were lovely and light to watch.

PS - I note the word adorable is appearing quite a lot!

This program really suits Yuxuan. It's cute. I don't think they performed much until the choreo steps. But, then they really sold it.

I had to switch to laptop on day one, as my tv's built in YouTube can't handle life feed from Ancara. Basically, try other device to stream.

I am surprised that they did not copy the iconic costumes, instead put their own spin on them.

Xing/Chau are such a cute junior team. She is such a star.

Mimi's red dress is channeling Kaitlyn Weaver
This team has really put themselves on my radar this year.

turn on the volume, please...

Extra points please for Ella and Louis

This feels like I am watching dance competition from 70 years ago or some old movie. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I just don't like that time period.

 

[elektra blue]

this program suits them a lot, i enjoyed them, i hope they keep improving

 

[readernick]

For some reason this was not an effective program for me. I think if you are doing this music you need a bit more energy and more precision. However, they are clearly a good team. They looked great in their costumes.

Oh that is Lilah Fear's old dress. With the retirement of Torvill & Dean, it is expected to see them do homage with Summertime, but their own version.

Mimi's dress reminds me of Phebe's FD dress last season - Different cut overall, but similar top half and same colour. So in the span of two days, I already managed to compare Mimi to two gorgeous, successful blonde Ice Dance ladies - That must be a good sign, no?

Good skate, certainly a big step forward.

See, I thought Phebe Bekker, but no, it's Lilah Fear. Of course, who else

yes

I could not hear the music. This team of Davies and Black are so classic looking. Really nice team to watch.

I have to say, so far, I'm enjoying junior ice dance here far more than I did at Senior Worlds - there's such creativity and enthusiasm in the programs and even the warhorses don't feel as warhorsey.
