Well, what can I say that hasn't been said about them....I can't dislike what they do no matter how hard I try ^^.
Starting with the RD: it's getting bigger and more exciting. I can't wait to see it performed at the olympics with all that adrenaline and excitement. I think they made the right choice with the change of music: they lost a lot less momentum than before. The pattern looks more intricate and elaborate. The costumes are also much better. That color really looks amazing on Gabby. And, I know I should not say that, but it but, dang Guillaume is HOT as fire in those leather pants. Only him can pull it of.
Now the FD: I was a bit nitpicky and sadly that has not changed. There are moments in the FD that are magic. The beginning drags you in. It makes you feel the melancholia and the longing. The, something brutally stops before that controversial lift. Poor Gabby is holding on to life like I've never seen her do. It still looks uncomfortable and out of place. Add to that, the lack of purpose of the steps before the lift, and the whole section looks dull. In comparison to MS where every single movement had a meaning, it's a bit of a letdown. The middle section is ok although I wished it was more intricate. Then, once again, something just stops. They do a lot of crossovers without meaning before the spin. They gain unnecessary speed and it loses me again. I wished they could find something creative before going into a spin they do so well. Then we have the mesmerizing entry into the curve lift. Gosh, that moment is out of this world. It's so beautiful, it goes so well with the music. It's these kind of moments when time just stops that makes me love P/C. But once again, they lose me. I don't understand why there is that small lift after the twizzles and just before the rotational lift (that is again, breathtaking in its purity and simplicity) that adds nothing to the program as a whole and looks weird before another lift. And the end is beautiful, as always.
To me, there are some construction issues on the program that I don't think I've ever noticed in any of their dances since their move to Gadbois. Everything seemed always so polished, so well thought, so well put together that it always felt like one piece of art. In Elegie, there are several beautiful pictures in my head and blank walls in between. And this hasn't really changed since their first showing so I m afraid this is the ultimate version of this dance. Time will tell.
