Plushenko's Moonlight Sonata SP- awesome program!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGVCUwzb7I&t=1m6s the little kick on the ice perfectly with the music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGVCUwzb7I&t=2m1s he runs on the ice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlGVCUwzb7I&t=2m20s he touches his forehead with his hand

Plushenko's Gipsy dance LP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aQdGyJQ1cU&t=2m17s he caresses his face

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aQdGyJQ1cU&t=2m40s the footwork after this moment

Plushenko LP 2012

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJtNXvyWbg&t=1m31s -this is his move but after Liza Tuk also made similar move..

Plushenko Nijinsky

Sasha Cohen's Swan Lake is my favourite program and it is full of little balletic movements & nuances but for some silly reason I am in love with this moment:

that leg movement - gracious and unhurried like she is lost in thought for a moment... it just touches me whenever I watch it. I don't know why!

BTW could anyone explain how you make a link to a fragment of the youtube video? I am not too good at these things. Thanks

You can also just right-click on the video at any point you want and choose "copy video URL at current time". Easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

Somehow I also forgot the part where Alexei "answers the phone" mid-program: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EGGBQbCBoW0&t=3m47s :laugh:

On a serious note, this choreography was all kinds of weird. :shocked:

Oh, I didn't catch the phone part. This is priceless! OMG. But I just love that he was able to skate with a wonderful freedom because he didn't have to constantly be thinking about his next complicated jump. Thx so much for sharing this!
 
Can't stop, won't stop myself from adding a few more. :laugh:

Yuna Kim Imagine exhibition "but I'm not the only one" part.

Evgenia Medvedeva walking on air for a split second.

Also I have seen so many wonderful moments from different programs that I have missed somehow, it is great joy watching all those nice moments. :)
 
Two Ice Network articles about the choreography process--both from their "Creating the Program" series:
First in a four--part series about Julie Marcotte's work with Marissa Castelli/Mervin Tran -http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2015/04/21/119574494/creating-the-program-castelli-tran-choose-music

First in a series about David Wilson's work with Mirai Nagasu -

Ok - I know I'm a dinosaur.

1984 Paso Doble Original Set Pattern Dance from Natalia Bestemianova and Andrei Bukin. There is a small move where it looks like they are punching either out - first Andrei, then Natalia.

The first time is at the .50 mark, then at 1:45 - first his hand, then hers.

My friends and I used to love watching that OSP. If I can still remember it after 30+ years it surely left an imprint on my brain.
 
I loved this moment in Hanyu's choreographic sequence at the start of the season. After coming out of a twizzle he does a sharp pose, pointing with one hand, the other hand held up flat parallel to his chest, his upper body and head firmly tight, while changing skating direction:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At-wSsrQyKI&t=6m20s

It was perfect with that beat of the music. This was the only time all season he did it. :(

Really good thread. Details like this are so important to the choreography and interpretation of programs, but rarely get accounted for very well in the judging of the PCS.

Patrick's Chopin... there are many moments like the spin position switching with the music going fast to slow, the salchow right on the chord, but this one has to be my favourite... when the e minor prelude gets on, it's simple and so effective

I'm so glad someone mentioned this program! I love the entire choreographic sequence going into the first lutz, how he goes back to mirroring the notes of the music out of the jump, the choreography going into the loop, the STOP OUT OF THE LOOP <3, and the salchow that was right on the music at 4cc and the subsequent choreography that mirrors the music basically up until the end of the program! This is one of my favorite programs of all time! So beautiful!
 
This program isn't my favorite competitive program but the exhibition is awesome. I read Plushenko has no emotions...

Tango Amore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZAbMMxawoc&t=1m35s only from him.. :o: :laugh:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZAbMMxawoc&t=2m7s OMG!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZAbMMxawoc&t=2m38s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZAbMMxawoc&t=3m35s before this dance the footwork helps to increase the passion, which culminates in tango... alone!!

and this is a very brave choreography from Plushenko, from himself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UClulQ0Uo7I&t=2m34s I'm sure many Japanese women wanted to sit on the first row.. that craze!:cool2:

Kristi Yamaguchi in "It's Oh, So Quiet" - the whole program is so cute, but I :love: when she "shushes" with her fingers. "Doop, Doop" is so much fun, too!
 
A lot of people only remember Yulia's senior version of Romeo and Juliet for the struggles she had that season but I really really like a lot of the choreography and especially the way she moves her arms during the StSeq.

Cha jun hwan's first sp from last season. He went back to the old danse macabre(i suppose at his age you need more time to feel comfortable performing a tango-ish piece) later, but i loved this part- 2:40-2:43.
