2025 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance

[labgoat]

That was bombastic, fantastic & smooooth
The crowd took a bit of time to warm to this program but now they are with them

 

[Sai Bon]

Go Alicia & Paul!

That was really good fun!

 

[4everchan]

damn it... bobble in the choreo steps

 

[GGFan]

The skating is very strong but some parts of that were cringey for me. It's just an awkward theme this year. Why are they forcing these teams to dance to this stuff? I should be loving this season because 90s music is some of my favorite, but I can't.

 

[4everchan]

I just wished the judges loved Alicia and Paul as much as I love them

 

[TallyT]

Ooooh, was that aimed at the Shibs?

 

[labgoat]

Glad to have Mark to point out their ice coverage and detail all the finer points of ice dance. We love having you Mark!

 

[NanaPat]

Where is Ricky Martin when you need him?

Fun program from Alicia and Paul. Loved the Shaggy music choice, nice change from the usual pop choices.

 

[4everchan]

I don't know about that score and that ranking. Really

 

[labgoat]

Go Wolf/Tsar!

 

[GGFan]

I'd have to see the protocols. The basic skating of F/A seemed stronger than the first two.

I think TPTB fondly imagined that the skaters would be more inspired and choose some of the good 90s stuff, just like the skaters, err... didn't for the 60s-80s theme last year

This team always impresses me with their hard work and steady improvement.

That was really good fun!

That was fun, sorry for the bauble

 

[TallyT]

Oh god... I have heard this way too many times this year and no one rocks any bodies at all. And mismatched silly wannabe costumes.

I Do Not Approve.

 

[GGFan]

First program I was singing along to. I don't love what they have to do to the songs to fit the rhythm. Sloppy in several spots but I enjoyed it in general.

 

[4everchan]

Interesting...

I am so far completely ranking these teams differently

Japanese 1
Canadians 2
Shibs 3
W/T 4

 

[labgoat]

Greg Zuerlein with them

Wow, Wolfkostin/Tsarevski have some serious boy band energy, I think their choreography really paid off (at least to this casual ice dance fan)!
