2025 Skate America Rhythm Dance

[FlossieH]

I liked that. I think it is the most original programme we've seen so far in this event.

These songs are a bit old and basic for the French to have chosen. The Paris Olympics blew me away with their opening ceremony EDM showcase!

I love LB (especially Geoffrey) but I didn't think they had enough swagger for their music... it's like they are too tight for it.. too precise, especially with the arms.

 

[museksk8r]

I am stunned by how laboured C/P skate; one would never guess that this team is currently top 5 in the world. Yikes!

 

[auser]

Admire how closely Evgeniia LOPAREVA / Geoffrey BRISSAUD skate together. Also like their energy and style.

Gabby is losing their job now because Cizeron is gonna skate in next few months..

 

[4everchan]

The first half is so fast and rushed. The second part works.

I didn't like either parts to be honest and that lift was very simple for a top team

Judy Blumberg & Evgenia Lopareva share ginger hair.

C/P’s skating is heavy. They don’t look at ease when skating and don’t have the speed of other top teams.

Agree, I never really got the hype about this team. But I like the music choice, it's much better than most of the others in this ridicolous theme.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Even though Carriera and Ponomarenko look like they skated heavy. I thought they are underscored a bit.
It looks like they were surprised at their score.
I thought L/ L a bit overscored. Looked frenzy and rushed

 

[labgoat]

Admire how closely Evgeniia LOPAREVA / Geoffrey BRISSAUD skate together. Also like their energy and style.

JLB said it was a team that really trusts each other to be exactly where they need to be.

 

[cocteautwin]

MFD clapping looked hysterical.

A chicken?

 

[museksk8r]

This tech panel is so strict, everyone is getting level 1 or even B on their steps.

It appears to me they are judging what they are seeing. This season’s RD is just a major struggle bus. No one has really been that impressive, though D/LM did impress me.

 

[Ares]

They enjoyed Lopareva/Brissaud too

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Evgeniia and Geoffrey had a retrogression on their choreo rhythm sequence, which cost them 4-5 points - they just ever so slightly skated back where they had already been and lost a ton of points. I love this element, it's totally not stupid at all and there are no arbitrary ridiculous rules whatsoever! I am so glad that we have the choreo rhythm sequence instead pattern dances!

A chicken?

A rooster I think. A French symbol.

 

[labgoat]

When your faves skate very well to music that you have zero connection to or appreciation for...

 

[cocteautwin]

Pattern step Basic for world champions (before review), nice . This program is just ok, nothing inspiring or memorable.

Shawn Rettstatt, the current ISU Ice Dance Chair, is the technical controller at this event... no wonder we have so many PStBs, he may become the Shin Amano of ice dance.
