Free Dance

Rubleva Shefer, Russia

Prayer in the night, please new music.

rotational lift, strong opening, a lot of energy.
diagonal step, lacking speed
twizzle, let a truck get through.
dance spin, good variations, again loss of speed
fast dance moves right into lift
serpentine lift, more speed please
skating together since 1994
serpentine step sequence leads to the next
nice, low level of curve lift
strong position in the straight line portion of lift
they can go down really low on lifts, nice!
straight line lift to finishing pos

Russians loved it. Other than the speed issue, they are really good. A lot of people in the arena now. They got great unison, innovative lifts, this team.

Marks please:

LOL Go Kerrs GO!!!

They were sooo cute and really into charachter. Having said that, it wasnt their best unfortunately, they seemed a bit nervous IMO :(

Bobrova and Soloviev will not get higher than #13 so no matter what place Khok/Nov finish Russia will have only 2 spots next year. That really sucks for all the very very promising jr. dance teams, and all the minor sr. temas like B/S themselves :(:(
 
The Kerrs - Robot Team from Scotland

Enigma

synchronized twizzles to start off
the signature rotational lift
dance steps, robot kicks!
rotational lifts, exciting!
more dance steps, choreo, costumes share the same vision.
straight line to curve serpentine lift
dance combo spins
change of pace and mood
straight line sequence, john's forward drag, very impressive
good straight line lift, into combo rotational lift, a bit awkward

crowd erupted. Yes! They are not the technically most difficult, but the idea was great!

ugh...I thought the Kerrs were awful. It reminded me of a town skating club's year-end ice show. And a bad one at that. :disapp:
