Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

I want something passionate, fiery and even explosive from these two. I think they are totally capable to deliever it. :yes:

Exactly. They have already done that this season with Carmen. So next season they could go in a different direction to show their range. But yeah something fiery they could do well.

But they showed their other side too, in their FD.
Maybe they should switch it now: something romantic, soft and beautiful for SD (good for Waltz), and something huge, powerful and fiery for FD. I'm so totally for this, with both hands.
 
I like the FD dress she wore at the GPF. I read elsewhere that she has 3 different dresses for the FD, is that true?

You could be onto something Snow63. But they could also do something mysterious and dramatic for the waltz like B/S for their Chess Golden Waltz SD. Then do a soft tango for the FD? But maybe too similar to this years approach?

She had a grey dress a COC and COR, a black at practice and a white one at GPF.

I would like I/Z to skate to something epic, one day, but I also like this softer style they are showing in the FD. That`s quiet unusual for them, if you compare it to the programms they skated with their previous partners.

She wore a black one at practice on Saturday - it was shaped like the grey one, with a plain black skirt and the bodice was black & gold embroidery over a nude material. The white one works best I think, but I think Rus needs something else that matches her better.

Yes, please! :shocked: That would be PERFECT.

Oh okay, thank you :)
 
So guys, did you speculate about their Waltz for the next season already?:)
 
One of my most favourite Russian Waltz (Second Waltz by Shostakovich): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJRBaB2kcyU

I'm sure they'll do something classic, but I REALLY want them to do something out of the box unexpected and creative. I hope it's not only B/S's prerogative.

P.S. And yes, it's Anna Karenina too :)

I already did, after CoR. :dance:


Weber's waltz "Invitation to the Dance", orchestration by Hector Berlioz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rds1mdeells

I adore this waltz and I think it would be perfect for them. :saint:

It is also a ballet Le Spectre de la rose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDkGolNafQ4
Although the story here is different from Weber's description.

Ravel's La Valse, which is grim and a powerful piece of music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMjYboGpEE
But I'm not sure it fits for the SD, and it really does need a superb choreo.

I would like I&Z to dance to this music though, in the future. Maybe as a FD.

Waltz Suite by Prokofiev from War&Peace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQWJiyiN0YM

Gran Valse by Glazunov from Raymonda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ0cUW-SKpo

Valse by Gounod from Faust: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfck1-gN-3k

Shostakovich Suite for Variety Orchestra it's very well known, but I adore this waltz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmCnQDUSO4I

Berlioz "Ein Ball" from Symphonie Fantastique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci9lUsWusX4

And please, make me happy and skate to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. :swoon: Take your time but do it. :encore:

^Alba, maybe I should comment on Lena's Instagram about your selection of music. :p

Why, don't you like it? :p

I was actually thinking to send this list to Kustarova and Alexeeva. I have them both in FB.
I have Elena too, but I don't want to sound like a crazy fan. :slink::laugh:

Very nice selection. I mostly like all of the Waltzes you mentioned :) But Shostakovich's Second Waltz is my absolutely favourite. It's so light and airy and not too repetative for a waltz. I think it would suit them just great.
But like I said, I want them to do something unexpected :biggrin:
