New costumes for Carreira & Ponomarenko FD

 

[labgoat]

They mention how much Emilea & Vadym have improved - her especially and the maturity of their free dance. Both mentioned awkward 1 foot sequence on brackets and slow in their run through. A year later, they look so much better matched now. Beautiful twizzle sequence. They like Vadym's hairography.

Fun fact - I learned ice dance at Emilea's home rink and was on the ice with a young Meryl & Charlie

Gosh, I hope the practice feed will be uploaded on YT, I need a distraction tonight, BADLY...

Love Christina & Anthony's new costumes. Hers is black lace with red flowers. Great unison on the twizzles. They talk about how her power has improved.

I'm sure there will at least be individual videos. With pairs, they only uploaded individual run throughs, but they did upload the full feed and individual run throughs for women.

yes ... and what a great influence Maddie Hubbell's coaching has been for Christina.

Annabelle & Jeffrey are next. New red and black costumes for RD, he has flared pants. Very close on the twizzles. JLB likes their crazy performance skills. Partial step sequence is fast tempo - JLB says ooh and I'm not sure it was a good ooh.

 

[labgoat]

Katarina & Dmitriy are fierce with lots of head moves from her. Big technical discussion about two counts into brackets, counters...too long to describe here. Nice pre-senior exposure for them says JLB. Her hair has a personality of its own.

 

[labgoat]

Two extra rotations on the rotational lift when only one is required. Vadym & Emilea showing off a bit and smiling.

JLB and the Skating Zoo
pairs = bears
women = elegant??
men = lions
dance = peacocks, brightest feathers wins

Amount of circling on dance practices, like seagulls or vultures waiting to be fed...

Jackie says Dmitriy Tsarevski looks like an Oscar in his gold shirt
Commenters are a bit getting slap happy

 

[labgoat]

Oh there is a nutritionist backstage with snacks like snack bars or chocolate milk for the skaters - cool!

Yes, on the off chance they don't upload the whole thing (see lack of full pairs' practice), there's some record of what was said.
