2025 Skate Canada Free Dance

Jen & Ben are bringing us a tango. They are really good at this style.

more of a flamenco isn't it ?

Neset/Markelov. Like this team. Side eye a coaching group that facilitates teen marriages - in the U.S. no less. (Part of why my family member did not continue in the sport.)

Fabulous costumes. Not an effective music edit - doesn't build and doesn't seem to sound great in the rink.

Their music choices are not showing this team at their best this season. A shame, because they are doing the work as athletes.

I can't un-see his legs. you just gotta pick where you look at in the end.

that's what I get for commenting on the costumes before I even hear the music
yes it is a flamenco of course (another program I am seeing this season for the first time)

An olé counts as something, right?

Montreal is a wonderful city. I train there too

I’m sure it is…just IAM teams get to looking very samey

 

[labgoat]

They bring a lot of chemistry and good energy to their programs. I like it. They have their own look.

Ben and Jen are very nice people, so I am biased to like this team.

Great choreo. She is so athletic in lifts and he is so solid. This is a great Olympic vehicle for them. Happy to see them skate it with such authority.

I told one of my friends who doesn't watch skating that "Egyptian Techno" is a common theme and they thought I was lying, but I find this wildly entertaining! Fantastic Cairography.

I love this FD...

The "cheeky snake" costume from Lauriault/Le Gac. They really lean into a bit of novelty in their attire and I appreciate it.

Marie-Jade and Romain are such engaging story tellers in their dance. Liked their curve lift and dance spin.

 

[labgoat]

On the whole I am not a fan of Cleopatra programs, but I like the musical selections and the choreography to this one so much. These two and their team are so clever and make this a memorable and enjoyable watch.

Late post - Sorry I lost my connection

 

[Demandred]

This was really enjoyable and quite original from Marie-Jade and Romain, creative lifts as usual from them.

 

[4everchan]

Scott is still so handsome

I’m sure it is…just IAM teams get to looking very samey

I really like Nick Buckland's teams - they seem to have a noticeably different style
