2025 JGP Ankara Rhythm Dance

[Jumping_Bean]

They're a fun team, and have definitely improved. Levels will keep them a bit lower than they might have hoped for, but not a bad score.

{Mark, please do not say 'home crowd' given the size of the audience}

Plus neither of them are from anywhere near Ankara. Irmak is from the Aegean coast, and Danil is from Kazakhstan. So this hardly qualifies as a "home" event for them.

I absolutely loved everything about that. And I absolutely love them.

That dress looks amazing on Irmak.

They go into 5th position.

Danil's bio
crying to Lana del Ray songs, hobbyhorsing choreographer, being the best partner of all time

Sarah is a little boss - I just love her

That was a lot of toys

I doubt we'll every (or at least for a long time) get back to the huge rains of the late 2010s but it's nice to see them back.

Nah, Eurodance is fun when you forget yourself for a second. But I also enjoy the cringe-to-bad fest that is Eurovision

i love Eurovision as you well know, because it's trashy and funny. i love 80s disco and trashy stuff, but 90s club music (that you call eurodance) lacks of something...maybe because it's mostly repetitive and kind of artificial?

I partly blame this "high energy" requirement for the repetitive and non-ispiring choices. There were so many good pop songs in the 90s but they may not be labeled as high energy.

So much great rock too... And so much electronic music, although most of it was probably labelled "techno" at the time. I'm surprised no one is using that, it fits the high-energy requirement. Give me the Faithless and the Prodigy, give me the Darude, give me the Sash!

Backstreet Boys is so damn unimaginative...

Sarah is a little boss - I just love her

she's giving me JLo vibes

 

[labgoat]

this team skates young and needs more technical work, but I see a spark in them that I find really interesting. Jolan is doing a very nice job partnering her and is quite a good skater himself

i think i remember someone has Prodigy, but take it with a grain of salt my memory is terrible. as far as i know no one has picked Take That, Verve or Blur or Oasis, which is even weirder since they're having a reunion

I think I have seen Take That somewhere, but I've been looking through sooo many bios recently (as everyone might have noticed ) so I can't for the life of me remember who it was

They have to be joking - I'm Too Sexy in that shirt? The Canadian interpretation of the word is clearly every different from any I have come across....

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

This is another one of those songs that can be borderline depending on which definition of "the 90's" you use. 1990 to 1999, or 1991 to 2000.

The album it was on was released in 1999, but the single wasn't released until 2000.

Personally, I wouldn't have thought it was that long ago! Mind you, I remember being at school at the time, and being convinced that "Ain't It Funny" (which was on the same album) was about how I felt about the girl I fancied at the time.

Anyway, Sarah MARCILLY VAZQUEZ / Jolan ENGEL (ESP) go into 10th position.

Offspring, my youth strikes again

 

[Karoltyna]

There is Offspring, we need more of these to survive this season... and then ice ice nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[labgoat]

I could not put Charlie & Cayden in my predictions as I have never seen them before. All I know is that they are Scott Moir's team.

postmodern take, I would say

 

[readernick]

The first song was terrible, then a song I actually listened to in the 90s, then ice ice baby started. Anyway, she has great SS. They are fast.

 

[TallyT]

They were endearingly dorky, and about as sexy as jam sandwiches.

I think I have seen Take That somewhere, but I've been looking through sooo many bios recently (as everyone might have noticed ) so I can't for the life of me remember who it was

as far as i can remember there's no late 90s either, no grunge, no punk and no Cranberries
